The work function of a metal is a fundamental property in materials study, defined as the energy required to extract an electron from the Fermi level to the vacuum level. It is known that this magnitude depends on the nature of the metal, but also that other parameters have a significant influence. Thus this thesis work shows how the work function can be modulated by a layer of self-assembled molecules on the metal surface, and how it evolves when the material is in the form of nanoparticles. The present study focuses on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of diameters between 10 and 60 nm and studies the effects of functionalization by four molecules: hexanedithiol (HDT), aminooctanethiol (AOT), mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MDHA) and dodecanethiol (D...
