| The synthesis and characterization of nanoscale metal sulfides and oxides on a Au(111)-“herringbone” template will be reported. Nanostructures of TiS2, TiO2, MoS2, and MoO3 have been synthesized and studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). These materials are of potential interest as chemical sensors and in heterogeneous catalysis. X-ray photoelectron and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy has also been used to study the bonding and thermal stability of some of these materials. Density functional theory calculations have been used to understand the electronic properties. These studies provide a guidelines for the formation of self-assembled nanostructures on a substrate. |
