Abstract

Gold surfaces with a strongly preferential Au{100} orientation were prepared by annealing of commercial gold foil in an oven at temperatures between 400 and 900 °C. The annealing also led to an improved crystallinity and growth of grain size. A similar surface restructuring was observed upon ultrasonication of the gold foil at room temperature in a water bath.
