title: Planar array of 1D gold nanoparticles on ridge-and-valley structured carbon.
abstract: For fabrication of a planar array of 1D chains of gold nanoparticles prepared by a chemical process, the faceted (110) planes of sodium chloride crystals were used as templates to produce nanoscale ridge-and-valley structured carbon layers by a vacuum process. When these carbon layers loaded on copper grids were dipped in toluene solution of 3.4 nm gold nanoparticles followed by natural dry, a planar array of 1D chains of gold nanoparticles were formed on carbon layers, where the nanoparticles were immobilized predominantly in valleys and partly on ridges of carbon layers.
