摘要
We report the direct delivery and assembly of negatively charged g-old colloidal particles atop positively charged amino-terminated silicon oxide surfaces using a nanofountain atomic force microscopy probe. The experimental results and fluid simulations indicate that the flow of nanoparticles is confined to the core tip region of the probe. This leads to the assembly of high-resolution submicron patterns (200 rim) on the substrate with feature sizes dependent on the tip-substrate contact time. A diffusion mechanism for the patterning is proposed and discussed.
