Atomic-Scale Imaging and Characterization of Colloidally Synthesized Gold Nanocubes Using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.
Ligand-mediated colloidal synthesis enables controlled growth of metal nanoparticles with properties distinct from their bulk counterparts, yet direct access to their atomic-scale surface structure remains limited. Here, we achieve atomically resolved imaging and spectroscopy of individual wet-synthesized gold nanocube...
