| Popis: | Surface supported, low dimensional gold nanostructures are of interest for plasmonic applications. Low dimensional nanostructures are readily accessible by solution-phase growth, where shape control through the addition of growth-directing surfactants is well established. Yet, shape control in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has not been well explored, and metallic gold films are typically limited to nanoparticulate or thin film morphologies. This article describes the self-seeded growth of high aspect ratio gold plates and wires by CVD. A directed growth mechanism is proposed, where growth is directed by the coordinating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and phosphine ligands originating from the thermal decomposition of the two gas-phase precursors, [Au(HMDS) (NHC)] (HMDS = hexamethyldisilazide, NHC = 1,3-diisopropyl-imidazolidin-2-ylidene) and [Au(HMDS) (PMe3)]. These ligands acted as transient surfactants for plate growth between 370 and 460 °C and at high precursor flux. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrosco... |
