The role of charge-induced defects in the growth of gold on an alkali halide surface

Gold on KBr, a prototypical system for studies of metal on insulator growth, is investigated by noncontact atomic force microscopy. It is shown that charge emitted during deposition results in the generation of surface defects via charge-induced desorption. Moreover, the defect and gold nanoparticle...
