Abstract :
This letter reports on the synthesis and observation of periodic arrangements of nanometric size gold islands. Samples are produced by deposition of preformed gold clusters on a functionalized graphite surface. The evolution of the cluster organization with artificial defects nature and periodicity is studied experimentally and analyzed in the framework of Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. This study points out the potentialities of the technique to organize nanostructures on patterned surfaces.
