摘要：

The nucleation, growth, and morphology of gold (Au) clusters oil ail irreducible oxide (SiO2), highly reduced TiOx (x similar to 1). and less reduced TiO2 (x similar to 2) were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with the goal of understanding the relationship between the nucleation, growth, and morphology of Au clusters and the reducibility of the oxide support. Au clusters show preferential nucleation and growth oil a TiOx surface compared to it SiO2 surface, In addition, higher densities of Au clusters were found oil highly reduced TiOx. suggesting that reduced Ti sites play a role as an active site for the nucleation and growth of Au clusters.
