“…This result indicates that the chemisorption of NPs can be attributed to the stable electrical characteristics of NPs. 81,83 Electrical characteristics of various synthesized NPs have been reported in addition to Au NPs: Ag, 85,[190][191][192][193] Pt, 137 Co, 156,194 Pd, 168,169,185 Au-Ag alloy, 195 InAs, 85,[196][197][198] CdS, 199 and CdSe. 78,[200][201][202] Tuning the bandgap of InAs NPs linked to an Au surface by hexanedithiol molecules has been demonstrated between 0.9 and 1.9 eV by changing the diameter of the NPs between 1.0 and 3.5 nm ( Fig.…”
