Electron transport in dodecylamine capped gold nanocluster films using current sensing atomic force microscope (C-AFM).

Electron transport across cataphoretically deposited dodecylamine capped gold nanocluster rough films on Si(111) substrate is investigated using current sensing atomic force microscopy. Contact mode images depict uniform deposition of agglomerates of gold nanoparticles. The current images display strong correlation with topographic images.
