While the amplitude of the modulation is determined by the properties of the polypeptide and the layer-by-layer ordering, the work function of the nanoparticle-terminated surface is determined by the nature of the metal particle and its surface functionalisation (see graphic).Modulation of the Work Function in Layer-by-Layer Assembly of Metal Nanoparticles and Poly-l-lysine on Modified Au Surfacestext::journal::journal article::research article
