title: Self-assembly of CdSe/CdS quantum dots by hydrogen bonding on Au surfaces for photoreception.
abstract: CdSe/CdS core-shell quantum dots have been self-assembled onto thiolcarboxylic acid functionalized gold surfaces by hydrogen bonding; control of the pH during deposition allows producing a high coverage photoactive surface for use in a surface sensitized Schottky barrier photovoltaic structure.
