The full paper is available here. In the present work the approach was developed for making superlattices. Alternating LB films of fatty acid salts with different metals were deposited, varying their thickness, followed by the reaction and selective removal of the fatty acid matrix. Structure of the film was then investigated with X-ray diffraction and STM microscopy. The measurements revealed that the approach allows to form semiconductor superlattices with sharp boundaries between adjacent layers.
Work is in progress towards the implementation of quantum devices based on the above nanoparticles.
