Lattice parameter and expected density of Au nano-structures sputtered on glass

摘要

Gold nano-structures (clusters and layers) were sputtered on the glass substrate. Lattice parameter was determined by X-ray diffraction. Density of Au nano-structures was calculated depending on structures size. Density of gold structures increases from the value of 13.6 ? 10~3 to 19.3 ? 10~3 kg m~(-3). Free volume fraction of structures decreases from the value of 48 to 26%.
