Small, uniform, and thermally stable silver particles on TiO2(110)-(1×1)

The growth of Ag–Au bimetallic nanoparticles on TiO2(110)

“…These studies reveal that Ag forms uniformly sized and thermally stable particles that exhibit a ''selflimiting'' growth mechanism [28]. Furthermore for Ag there is virtually no difference in the growth mode of particles at step-edges relative to growth at terraces, in marked contrast to the growth of Au on TiO 2 (1 1 0) as discussed above (Figs.…”

“…The growth of Ag particles on TiO 2 (1 1 0) has been investigated in detail [27][28][29]. These studies reveal that Ag forms uniformly sized and thermally stable particles that exhibit a ''selflimiting'' growth mechanism [28].…”

The nucleation, growth, and stability of oxide-supported metal clusters

“…For example, studies have been carried out addressing the growth of Au-Ag clusters on a Ag-precovered titania surface as a function of Au coverage. Ag nucleates on titania as uniform, thermally stable clusters [69,88,89]. The growth of Ag clusters is generally self-limiting, in marked contrast to the behavior of Au on this surface.…”

Growth of Ag nanostructures on TiO2(110)

“…This work complements a very recent study of Goodman and co-workers for Ag [8] and Au [9] on TiO 2 who reported observation of circa 5 nm Ag clusters on TiO 2 . There exist recent results on Ag growth on TiO 2 [10][11][12] and on some other systems such as those of Madey and co-workers on the growth of Au, Fe, Cu, etc. on TiO 2 [13][14][15][16].…”
