Figure 1

Schematic of the sample preparation process. AFM scan of pristine glass substrate (with values of surface roughness) is shown in the top left cut. Chemical formula of the octane-1,8-dithiol is shown in the middle left cut. In the bottom left cut a TEM (JEOL-JEM 1010, Japan) image of freshly prepared AuNPs is shown.
