arrandee™ gold on glass substrates: well defined Au(111) terraces, spanning several hundred nm in size.
Gold arrandee™ are available in 11x11 mm and 12x12 mm standard size, packages containing 50 arrandee™, each one stuck carefully to a base plate.
Gold arrandee™ glue free grade: easy handling for your convenience. The glue free grade slides are produced using shieldings during metal deposition. Available in 11 x 11mm size only. Packing back-to-back in glass tubes. Package containing 25 arrandee™.
Silver as well as platinum arrandee™ substrates are produced on demand. Available in 11x11 mm and 12x12 mm size.
Any special demand for any metal coated substrate ? Please contact us. We will do our best to support your research.
We are looking forward to your challenge!
Light gas burner – propane/butane Bunsen burner fits perfectly. Darken room to enable overserving of glowing color.
Lift gold arrandee™ substrate from base plate using flat spatula. Use ceramic tweezers to handle the substrate.
Place gold arrandee™ into the flame until dark red glowing. Remove from flame and let cool down the susbstrate for 30 seconds. Take care not to overheat the substrate!
Repeat this procedure two to three times. Now you will be able to find Au(111) terraces of about 100 nm in size.
arrandee™ substrates are used in many fields of research, e.g. nano-bio-interfaces, self-assembled organic films on metals, electrical conduction in single molecules, molecular electrical properties, nanoscale electrochemistry, interfacial electrochemistry, metal plating and in-situ spectroscopy at electrode surfaces etc..
Methods used are STM, AFM, X-ray, in-situ IR spectroscopy, vibrational Sum-Frequency Generation (VSFG) spectroscopy etc..
Most advanced production facilities as well as many years of experience enable us to provide best quality substrates for your experiment.
Since 1994 arrandee™ substrates are produced by our scilled staff on site. Optimized production cycles guarantee in-time delivery while keeping in house shelf time low.
6.000 expermints per year are performed by SPM groups world-wide using gold arrandeeTM. For any further reference please contact us.
