Rapid controllable synthesis of branched Au superparticles: formation mechanism of toggling the growth mode and their applications in optical broadband absorption by Zhong, Shichuan, Hang, Lifeng, Wen, Lulu, Zhang, Tao, Cao, An, Zeng, Pan, Zhang, Hanlin, Liu, Dilong, Cai, Weiping, Li, Yue

“…We reveal and confirm the toggling formation mechanism of Au superparticles between the Frank-van der Merwe (FM) growth mode and the Volmer-Weber (VW) growth mode. The key factor of this special structure is the frequent toggling between the FM (layer by layer) growth mode and the VW (island) growth mode induced by 3-aminophenol, which is continuously absorbed on the surface of newborn Au nanoparticles, leading to a relatively high surface energy during the overall synthesis process, thus achieving an island on island growth. …”

Discrimination of dendrimer aggregates on mica based on adhesion force : a pulsed force mode atomic force microscopy study by Grim, P. C. M., Vosch, T., Wiesler, U. M., Berresheim, A. J., Müllen, K., De Schryver, F. C., Zhang, Hua

“…Two different types of aggregated polyphenylene dendrimer molecules, G2Td(COOH)16 and G4-Td, obtained by spin coating a dilute solution onto freshly cleaved mica surfaces, and their adhesion properties were measured by pulsed force mode (PFM) AFM. The adhesion properties could be related to the chemical nature of the outer surface of the dendrimers and the mica surface, and the thin film of water adsorbed on mica when imaged under ambient conditions. …”
