Density Functional Investigation of the Inclusion of Gold Clusters on a CH3S Self-Assembled Lattice on Au(111)

Figure 2

Plain view of the self-assembled structures containing Au clusters of increasing size. Au atoms in each cluster are colored white, SCH3 atoms are colored in light grey, and bottom metal layers are colored black with transparent planes representing the surface. On some of the structures (Au3 and Au7), we label different SCH3 adsorption sites on top of the cluster or on the Au(111) terrace.
