'Spillout' effect in gold nanoclusters embedded in c-Al2O3(0001) matrix

S. Dhara, B. Sundaravel, T. R. Ravindran +5

Gold nanoclusters are grown by 1.8 MeV Au^\sup{2+} implantation on c-Al\sub{2}O\sub{3}(0001)substrate and subsequent air annealing at temperatures 1273K. Post-annealed samples show…
