Abstract
Gold films prepared by neutral gold cluster deposition on the HF-treated Si(111) surface in a static argon atmosphere of 50 Pa have been characterized by scanning tunneling microscope in air at room temperature. Our studies demonstrate that the gold film is just the stacking up of clusters formed in the static argon atmosphere and shows dense random packing formation of clusters. The structure of the gold cluster-based nanophase film is very compact and stable.
