Engineering of hollow AlAu2 nanoparticles on sapphire by solid state dewetting and oxidation of Al

The Al-Au binary diffusion couple is a classic example of the system exhibiting Kirkendall voiding during interdiffusion. We demonstrate that this effect, which is a major reason for failures of the wire bonds in microelectronics, can be utilized for producing hollow AlAu2 nanoparticles attached to...
