Using Gold Nanoclusters to Engineer Crystalline Material Growth.
Nov 14 2022Reviewed by Bethan Davies Standard solid matter comprises atoms arranged in a crystal lattice. The chemical composition of the atoms and lattice symmetry describes the properties of the matter, for example, whether it is a semiconductor, a metal, or an electric insulator.
Related StoriesLarger identical entities, such as atomically precise metal nanoclusters or nanoparticles, can also arrange themselves into a crystal lattice to develop so-called meta-materials. However, insight into how to promote the growth of these materials from their building blocks has been scarce as crystal growth is a classic self-assembling process.
These clusters are water-soluble due to the ligand molecules that safeguard the gold. This cluster material is proven to self-assemble into well-defined close-packed single crystals when the water solvent vaporizes.
