Real-space imaging with pattern recognition of a ligand-protected Ag374 nanocluster at sub-molecular resolution

Translating high-resolution imaging methods to the curved organic surface of a nanoparticle has been challenging. Here, the authors are able to spatially resolve the sub-molecular surface details of a silver nanocluster by comparing scanning tunneling microscopy images and simulated topography data...
