Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers of metal nanoparticles (NPs) are envisioned for various devices and have been investigated for possible applications. However, organic envelope of NPs which is required for self-assembling must be often removed prior further device fabrication. Here, we report on effect of ozonolysis on monolayer of silver NPs (Ag NPs) with size of 8nm and its impact on Ag NPs utilization in organic field-effect transistor. It was found that Ag NPs covered by organics serve like a traps and removal of insulating organics decreases number of traps and consequently increases Ag NPs monolayer conductivity.
