Perspective: bonding and electronic origin of Au atomic-undercoordination-derivacy and nanoscale-size-dependency

Atomic undercoordination entitles the inert gold even more noble at sites pertained to adatoms, defects, kinks, and skins of bulk and sized crystals with unclear mechanism. Systematic analysis of the electron emission spectra of XPS and STM/S of the undercoordinated gold atoms revealed that the 4f a...
