Size Investigation Of Silicon Nanoclusters Deposited On Hopg Using Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy, Mümi̇n Mehmet Koç
Turkish Journal of Physics
The sizes of silicon nanoparticles produced using two different novel methods are investigated in this report. The method of production used to generate silicon oxide nanoparticles was achieved via gas aggregation codeposition with water on a cold target, and also via a liquid jet method. The nanoparticles were drop-cast on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate and assessed using ultrahigh vacuum atomic force microscopy (AFM). Noncontact constant force mode was used in the AFM investigations. The silicon nanoparticles produced using the gas aggregation and water codeposition method were found to be smaller than 2 nm. A degree of deviation …
