摘要
Ag clusters obtained by the gas-aggregation technique were deposited on the cleavage face (001)NaCl. The average size of the nanoparticles was varied in the range from 0.2 to 10 nm and the temperature was varied from room temperature to 470 K. Owing to the mobility of the clusters on the substrate, they coalesced with formation of larger particles, decorating atomic cleavage steps on (001)NaCl already at room temperature. It was shown that the step decoration is possible only when the average size of the deposited clusters is commensurable with the height of the cleavage steps.
