-assembled monolayer of functionalcolloids is prepared on a solid substrate and subsequently treated by oxygen plasma processing in order to remove the organic constituents. This step, however, leads to a saturated state of a residual mix of materials. In order to determine parameters influencing this
distance of about 260 nm for well-defined crystalline platinum nanoparticles limited by deformation processes due to softening of the organic material during the plasma applications.

nanoparticles (NPs) with dimensions of only several nanometers [11][12]. In contrast to conventional colloidal lithography, this approach employs the functionalcolloids as sacrificial carriers, rather than, e.g., being used as masks for metal evaporation. The size of the resulting metal NPs is determined by
