Abstract:
The self-assembling properties of surfactant black films are used to obtain sizeable, dense islands of nanoparticles. Using the "Bubble Deposition Method" (BDM) these films are transferred onto solid substrates. The organisation within the islands evolves when the films are allowed to equilibrate before deposition. The results on model gold particles are discussed in terms of line tension.
