title: Dynamics of formation of Ru, Os, Ir and Au metal nanocrystals on doped graphitic surfaces.
abstract: The fabrication of precious metal (ruthenium, osmium, gold, and iridium) nanocrystals from single atoms has been studied in real-time. The dynamics of the first stage of the metal nanocrystallisation on a doped (B,S)-graphitic surface are identified, captured, and reported.
