Complex Behavior of Caffeine Crystallites on Muscovite Mica Surfaces
Defined fabrication of organic thin films is highly desired in technological, as well as pharmaceutical, applications since morphology and crystal structure are directly linked to physical, electrical, and optical properties. Within this work, the directed growth of caffeine deposited by hot wall epitaxy (HWE) on muscovite mica is studied. Optical and atomic force microscopy measurements reveal...
متن کاملEvidence for potassium carbonate crystallites on air-cleaved mica surfaces.
Air-cleaved mica surfaces exhibit a high density of nanometer or micrometer size particles that have been ascribed to potassium carbonate formed as a reaction product of carbonaceous gases with potassium ions. Unambiguous evidence for this assignment has, however, never been presented. We study air-cleaved mica surfaces by high-resolution noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) in ultrahigh...
متن کاملCrystal alignment of caffeine deposited onto single crystal surfaces via hot-wall epitaxy.
Defined crystal growth is highly demanded for technological applications but also fundamental research. Within this work, the crystal growth of the asymmetric molecule caffeine was studied on single crystalline surfaces of muscovite mica, sodium chloride and potassium chloride. While elongated needle-like crystals grow on muscovite mica and sodium chloride, smaller individual "bird-like" struct...
متن کاملDynamics of charging of muscovite mica: measurement and modeling.
The advent of a new method for measuring the zeta potential of planar surfaces, the rotating disk, allowed the investigation of the charging process of mica after immersion in water. The zeta potential of freshly cleaved muscovite mica was recorded within seconds of immersion of the sample and in fractions of a second thereafter. The zeta potential of mica in water at pH = 5.6 with no added pot...
متن کاملThe Epitaxial Growth of Self-Assembled Ternaphthalene Fibers on Muscovite Mica
The morphology and structure of 2,2':6',2″-ternaphthalene (NNN) deposited on muscovite mica(001) substrates was investigated by scanning force microscopy (SFM) and specular X-ray diffraction measurements. Consistently, both methods reveal the coexistence of needle-like structures with a {111} contact plane and {001} orientated island-like crystallites, which are built up by almost upright stand...
