Schematic representation of fabrication process of self-assembled platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) on sapphire (0001) from the sputter deposited In/Pt bilayer. (a) Deposition of In and Pt bilayer with the Pt layer being on top. (b) Atomic inter-diffusion upon increased annealing temperature. (c) Alloy formation. (d) Sublimation of In atoms. (e) Formation of Pt NPs.
