Figure 7
(a) ω scan of the 111 Bragg reflection of Au nanotriangles on a bare Si substrate (filled blue symbols) and a Si substrate that has been functionalized prior to the NT deposition (open red symbols). In both cases, the Laue oscillations yield a thickness of the Au NTs of ∼5 nm. (b) Temporal evolution of the strain in the Au NTs after laser excitation with λ = 1028 nm and F = 0.1 mJ cm−2. |
