Size dependence of thermoelectric power of Au, Pd, Pt nanoclusters deposited onto HOPG surface

The paper presents the study of tunnel current-voltage characteristics of Au, Pd and Pt nanoclusters deposited onto the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface by pulsed laser deposition. The analysis of tunnel current-voltage characteristics obtained by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) allowed to recover the thermoelectric power value of nanoclusters. It was found that the value of thermoelectric power of pulsed laser deposited nanoclusters depends on nanocluster material and shows qualitative difference in size dependence for different materials of nanoclusters. Thus, thermoelectric power value of PLD Pd nanoclusters decreases with increasing of nanocluster size, while for Au nanoclusters this value increases. The analysis of the results are discussed.
