Surface polarization, field homogeneity, and dielectric breakdown in ordered and disordered nanodielectrics based on gold–polystyrene superlattices

Abstract

Hybrid dielectrics were prepared from dispersions of nanoparticles with gold cores (diameters 2.9 nm to 8.2 nm) and covalently bound thiol-terminated polystyrene shells (5 000 Da and 11 000 Da)...
