- Abstract
The experimental results are presented for the backscattering of 500-eV electrons on Au nanoclusters formed on the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite HOPG(0001) and amorphous SiO. It has been found that the measured intensity of the elastically backscattered electrons nonmonotonically depends on the size of nanoclusters. It has been shown that the observed features can be explained by an increase in the rms deviation of the atoms of the Au nanocluster with a decrease in its size. The difference in the dependence of the rms deviation of atoms on the size of the nanoclusters formed on the surfaces of HOPG(0001) and amorphous SiO is qualitatively explained by an increase in the roughness of the nanocluster surface accompanying their formation under the strongly nonequilibrium conditions of pulsed laser deposition.
