Interfacial bonding of gold nanoparticles on a H-terminated Si(100) substrate obtained by electro- and electroless deposition.

Dome-shaped gold nanoparticles (with an average diameter of 10.5 nm) are grown on H-terminated Si(100) substrates by simple techniques involving electro- and electroless deposition from a 0.05 mM AuCl3 and 0.
