The response of such films to compression is compared with results from previously studied gold nanoparticle (Au-NP) films, showing many similarities, along with significant differences. Possible factors governing the stress response of nanoparticle films are discussed.8 pagesen-USThis work was written as part of one of the author's official duties as an Employee of the United States Government and is therefore a work of the United States Government.
