<div>In this work plasmonic stamps are harnessed to drive surface chemistry on silicon. The plasmonic stamps were prepared by sputtering gold films on PDMS, followed by thermal annealing to dewet the gold and form gold nanoparticles. By changing the film thickness of the sputtered gold, the approximate size and shape of these gold nanoparticles can be changed, leading to a shift of the optical absorbance maximum of the plasmonic stamp, from 535 nm to 625 nm. Applying the plasmonic stamp to a Si(111)-H surface using 1-dodecene as the ink, illumination with green light results in covalent attachment of 1-dodecyl groups to the surface. Of the dewetted gold films on PDMS used to make the plasmonic stamps, the thinnest three (5.0, 7.0, 9.2 nm) resulted in the most effective plasmonic stamps for hydrosilylation. The thicker stamps had lower efficacy due to the increased fraction of non-spherical particles, which have lower-energy LSPRs that are not excited by green light. Since the electric field generated by the LSPR should be very local, hydrosilylation on the silicon surface should only take place within close proximity of the gold particles on the plasmonic stamps.To complement AFM imaging of the hydrosilylated silicon surfaces, galvanic displacement of gold(III) salts on the silicon was carried out and the samples imaged by SEM - the domains of hydrosilylated alkyl chains would be expected to block the deposition of gold. The bright areas of metallic gold surround dark spots, with the sizes and spacing of these dark spots increasing with the size of the gold particles on the plasmonic stamps. These results underline the central role played by the LSPR in driving the hydrosilylation on silicon surfaces, mediated with plasmonic stamps.</div>

ABSTRACTGold nanoparticles can be used as ultimate electrical materials for storing electrons or controlling their flow for the next generation nano-electronic devices. These particles are the core element of assemblies where the electrical current is reduced to the smallest possible since electrons are controlled one by one by using the Coulomb blockade phenomenon. We prepared colloidal gold nanoparticles beteween 4 and 15 nm and grafted them on a grafted organic monolayer (GOM) on silicon. GOM are highly ordered monolayers prepared by hydrosilylation of alkene molecules and subsequently modified with an amine group so that gold nanoparticles can be firmly immobilized on top of the layer. We discuss several electrical properties at a single electron level. Using the conductive tip of KPFM, we were also able to reveal the spontaneous charging behavior of the gold nanoparticles so that the local work function of a 10 nm gold nanoparticle is only 3.7 eV. By placing an STM tip above a nanoparticle, Coulomb blockade allows controlling the number of electrons simultaneously injected in the nanoparticle. This opens the way for new kinds of single electron memories or single electron transistors.
