“Hopping” electrodeposition makes gold nanodot plating

Researchers in Moldova and Germany are reporting on a new and simple way to cover the surfaces of porous semiconductors with a monolayer of gold nanodots using a pulsed electroplating technique. The method might be used to make plasmonic photonic crystals, optoelectronic on-chip interconnects and chemical and biological sensors…..
