Formation of precise 2D Au particle arrays via thermally induced dewetting on pre-patterned substrates

The fabrication of precise 2D Au nanoparticle arrays over a large area is presented. The technique was based on pre-patterning of the substrate before the deposition of a thin Au film, and the creation of periodic particle arrays by subsequent dewetting induced by annealing. Two types of pre-pattern...
