Abstract

On the threshold: Local mapping of the topography and electronic properties of arrays of 28-kDa gold nanocrystals was carried out by combined conducting-probe AFM and displacement–voltage spectroscopy. The Coulomb-blockade voltage thresholds (VT) arising from sequential single-electron charging of the nanocrystals in conducting paths as few as three nanocrystals deep were measured. The fluid properties of the nanocrystal arrays allow the formation of probe–array–substrate nanocontacts (see Figure).
