title: Superlattice of octanethiol-protected copper nanoparticles.
abstract: The synthesis and spectroscopic characterizations of size-controlled Cu nanoparticles forming self-assembled 2D superlattices with hexagonal packing are described. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) techniques were used to characterize the octanethiol-protected copper nanoparticles.
