Self Assembled Monolayers -A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Self assembly provides a simple route to organise suitable organic molecules on noble metal surface by using long chain organic molecules with various functionalities like -SH,-COOH,-NH2 , Silanes etc. These surfaces can be used to build up interesting nano level architectures. Self assembly is an interesting process for biological relevance because it provides a novel approach to complex structure having nanometre scale dimensions. The self assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be characterized by the number of techniques such as Contact angle goniometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Infra red and scanning probe microscopy which provides the valuable information about the SAMs.

Intrinsic Electronic Conduction Mechanisms in Self-Assembled Monolayers
A review on the mechanisms and characterization methods of molecular electronic transport is presented. Using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols in a nanometer scale device structure, tunneling is unambiguously demonstrated as the main conduction mechanism for large bandgap SAMs, exhibiting well-known temperature and length dependencies. Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy e...
متن کاملFluorinated self-assembled monolayers: composition, structure and interfacial properties
Over the past several years, various fluorinated self-assembled monolayers (F-SAMs) on gold have been used to study the interfacial properties of fluorocarbon interfaces. This review focuses on the structures of selected F-SAMs and describes how the structures relate to various interfacial properties, such as wettability, friction, X-ray induced damage and ion-surface collisions. 2003 Elsevier ...

Self-assembled monolayers (SAM) make the creation of new types of protective layers possible, concerning corrosion, with which ecologically damaged procedures would be replaced for the protection of metal constructions from corrosion. Self-assembling is a spontaneous process which is developed by submerging of suitable metal substract into the melt with surface organic active substance, which i...
متن کاملTetraferrocenylporphyrins as active components of self-assembled monolayers on gold surface.
Novel tetraferrocenylporphyrins-containing self-assembled monolayers were prepared employing two different approaches. Self-assembled monolayers were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV) whereas their photoelectrochemical properties were investigated by photocurrent generation (PG) experiments.
متن کاملSelf-assembled monolayers: from ‘simple’ model systems to biofunctionalized interfaces
We review recent developments in the area of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and their applications. First, we discuss issues related to the structure, the phase transitions, the phase diagram, and the growth dynamics. We explain how the internal degrees of freedom and the multiple interactions involved can lead to a fairly rich phase behaviour even for systems which are commonly considered ‘s...
