Focused ion beam milling of single-crystalline gold flakes Figure 2: SEM images of single- and multi-crystalline gold nanostructures. Figure 3: SEM image and the corresponding TPPL map of single ...

The ability to grow single crystal gold is one of the vital scientific characteristics that allows device-grade electronics to be built. A new recipe for making thin gold (Au) films for electronics ...

In the case of gold, however, it was found for the first time that the intercalated atoms arranged themselves in a regular, periodically recurring two-dimensional structure – crystalline – along the ...

They call it the largest crystalline gold leaf specimen in the world, and who’s to argue? On display inside a walk-in vault in the Heritage Museum and Jewelry Shoppe at Ironstone Vineyards in ...

The real-time clips, described March 30 in Nature Nanotechnology, show closeup views of microscopic gold particles tumbling, sliding and flitting about before clicking into place in crystalline ...

All that glitters: Laser spectroscopy of monocrystalline and polycrystalline gold samples revealed that electrons in the former stay "hot" for much longer. (Courtesy: Megan Grace-Hughes, King's ...

and amino acids on the shells reduced the gold ions to form crystalline gold nanoparticles. Suresh claims this is the simplest synthesis of a supported catalyst ever reported. The researchers ...
