Abstract :
High-energy synchrotron radiation was used to induce the deposition of gold nanoparticles from a gold-salt solution onto a silicon dioxide surface. The nanoparticles distribution and film morphology depend on the x-ray dose. The average lateral grain size is about 100 nm. The particles exhibit a (111) preferred orientation normal to the substrate. The properties of the nanoclusters depend on the solution chemistry and deposition conditions.
