摘要：

We have investigated the growth of Bold nanoclusters on the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite in ultrahigh vacuum. Studies by ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy indicated that the size distribution of gold clusters was very narrow and quasi-one-dimensional chains of gold nanoclusters of approximately 2 nm diameter were produced after annealed at 74 degreesC. And gold nanowires made of different sized gold clusters could also be formed after annealed at 122 degreesC. These results suggest the viability of a new route to the creation of ordered nanoscale structures.
