However, organic envelope of NPs which is required for self-assembling must be often removed prior further device fabrication. Here, we report on effect of ozonolysis on monolayer of silver NPs (Ag NPs) with size of 8 nm and its impact on Ag NPs utilization in organic field-effect transistor. It was found that Ag NPs covered by organics serve like a traps and removal of insulating organics decreases number of traps and consequently increases Ag NPs monolayer conductivity. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84893934971&doi=10.1016%2fj.tsf.2013.10.013&partnerID=40&md5=920322792bf96800927b293f1f983dc8 id_number: 10.1016/j.tsf.2013.10.013 full_text_status: none publication: Thin Solid Films volume: 554 pagerange: 189-193 refereed: TRUE issn: 00406090 citation: Lee, K. and Weis, M. and Chen, X. and Taguchi, D. and Manaka, T. and Iwamoto, M.
