Abstract
We report that optical near-field desorption can dramatically regulate the growth of Zn nanoparticles during optical chemical vapor deposition. The trade off between the deposition due to 3.81 eV optical near-field light and desorption due to 2.54 eV optical near-field light allowed the fabrication of a single 15 nm Zn dot, while regulating its size and position.Keywords
