Abstract

This letter proposes a mechanism for the ordering of metallic quantum dots without coherent lattice or lattice mismatch with the substrate so that elasticity may not account for the phenomena. The authors show that contact potential induces repulsive charge clouds in the substrate. The size-dependent repulsion and van der Waals attraction lead to ordered nanoscale structures.
