These IC provide a suitable environment for nucleation, epitaxial growth and immobilization of AgNPs that were ob</span><span style=\"line-height:1.5;\">tai</span><span style=\"line-height:1.5;\">ned by the magnetron sputtering technique.</span><span style=\"line-height:1.5;\"> </span><span style=\"line-height:1.5;\">The use of <i>¦Á</i>-CD IC substrates with a specific surface morphology in which the functional group of the guest molecule faces outward preferentially from a crystal plane, is an efficient method for the preparation of AgNPs with a low size dispersion, which is probably due to the high affinity between the functional group of the surfactant carboxylic acid guest with the metal nanoparticles.</span>
