Self-assembly of silver sulfide, Ag 2 S, nanoparticles is reported for different particles sizes. Monolayers of particles organized in a hexagonal network are formed over very large domains. Small or large aggregates can also be produced. The observations indicate that the formation of self-assemblies of nanoparticles strongly depends on the preparation conditions of the samples. It is also shown that in the aggregates the particles are highly organized and form pseudocrystals with a face-centered cubic structure for various particles sizes.
