To achieve and characterize the room-temperature electrocrystallization of aluminium antimonide nanoclusters from an ionic liquid medium.
Electrodeposited aluminium antimonide at room temperature using a neutral AlCl3-1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride {AlCl3-[C4mim]+Cl-} ionic melt.
Characterized nanocluster morphology and electronic properties in-situ via electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS).
Successfully synthesized aluminium antimonide nanoclusters via room-temperature electrodeposition.
Observed an apparent band gap energy of 0.92 ± 0.2 eV for the electrodeposited nanoclusters using in-situ STS.
