Abstract: Gold nanoparticles, prepared by the Frens method, have been electrostatically assemblied onto mica substrates treated with different concentration of MnCl2 solution. The assemblies have been investigated by means of atomic force microscopy(AFM). The immersing time of bare mica in Mn2+ solution and the concentration of Mn2+ solution both have significant effect on the assembled process of gold nanoparticulate monolayer. The coverage of gold particles shows periodical evolution on the immersing time of mica in MnCl2 solution. The higher is the concentration of MnCl2, the shorter is the time to attain maximum coverage. An ionexchanged and layerdissociated mechanism is put forth to explain the experimental results above.
