A numerous methods of synthesis of gold nanoparticles (NPs) allow to obtain spherical and anisotropic Au NPs in aqueous and non-aqueous media, in the micelles and at the phase interfaces. Here we propose to grow the Au NPs directly on atomically flat surfaces of different monocrystals: MoS2, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and mica. Thus, the spherical NPs and monocrystals are being formed preferentially in presence of the mica and graphite surfaces, while on MoS2 ̶ NPs and Au nanowires. The shape, size and thickness of the gold NPs were estimated by scanning electron microscopy. The method of electron microprobe analysis has revealed that the gold NPs have no incidental impurities. Кеу words – nanoparticle, monocrystal, atomically smooth surfaces, side defects, dendritic structures, scanning electron microscopy.
