In this paper we present pulse deposition as a new method to favor the self-assembly of nanostructured materials. Nucleation and growth of gold thin layers deposited on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate have been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy in air. Depositions were performed in a pulsed regime and, for comparison, continuously in time.Much higher cluster density and better...
An analogy between the behavior of real gases and the behavior of clusters deposited on a surface has been established. A relation similar to the Van der Waals equation was used, with the variables corresponding to the deposition process. It was found that the critical parameters and the Boyle temperature of the substrate define the conditions of a particular nucleation and of the thin him growth...
