Here, 5 nm Ag nanocrystals are deposited, using the same procedure, on various substrates differing by their rms roughness, wetting properties and nanoparticle–substrate interactions leading, consequently, to different nanocrystal orderings. Theoretical calculations are carried out to understand how these parameters influence the size of the nanocrystal organizations on the substrate surface. When these nanocrystal arrays are subjected to an oxygen plasma treatment, the nanocrystals perfectly assembled in hexagonal networks remain intact, while the nanocrystals that are not well-packed coalesce to form larger particles independently on the used substrate. This phenomenon is observed on the entire substrate surface. This procedure gives an innovative way of using oxygen plasma generated by the reactive ion etching technique, as a new method to reveal defects in 2D Ag nanocrystal self-assemblies.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
