چکیده

Gold surfaces were modified by benzyl-mercaptan (BM) and then partly replaced with benzenethiol (BT), which formed binary self-assembled monolayers (SAM). Initially BT randomly replaced BM in the monolayer, but at long exchange times >15 nm radius domains were observed with specific relative composition of BT and BM.

Design of patchy particles using quaternary self-assembled monolayers.

Binary and ternary self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) adsorbed on gold nanoparticles (NPs) have been previously studied for their propensity to form novel and unexpected patterns. The patterns found were shown to arise from a competition between immiscibilty of unlike surfactants and entropic gains due to length or other architectural differences between them. We investigate patterns self-assembl...

The Self-Assembled Behavior of DNA Bases on the Interface

A successful example of self-assembly in a biological system is that DNA can be an excellent agent to self-assemble into desirable two and three-dimensional nanostructures in a well-ordered manner by specific hydrogen bonding interactions between the DNA bases. The self-assembly of DNA bases have played a significant role in constructing the hierarchical nanostructures. In this review article w...

Molecular-Resolution Interrogation of a Porphyrin Monolayer by Ultrahigh Vacuum Tip-Enhanced Raman and Fluorescence Spectroscopy.

Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) and optically excited tip-enhanced fluorescence (TEF) of a self-assembled porphyrin monolayer on Ag(111) are studied using an ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (UHV-STM). Through selectively exciting different Q-bands of meso-tetrakis- (3,5-ditertiarybutylphenyl)-porphyrin (H2TBPP), chemical information regarding different vibronic excited state...

Spectroscopic ellipsometry of self assembled monolayers: interface effects. The case of phenyl selenide SAMs on gold.

This work focuses on the quantitative application of spectroscopic ellipsometry to the study of optical properties and thickness of self assembled monolayers (SAMs) of phenyl selenide deposited from the liquid phase on gold. STM, XPS and cyclic voltammetry measurements provide additional chemical and morphological characterization of the SAMs. While routine ellipsometry analysis of SAMs often r...

Improvements in the characterization of the crystalline structure of acid-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers on Au(111).

We report a study of acid-terminated self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols of different length, 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA) and 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (16-MHDA), on Au(111). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and contact angle techniques were used for characterizati...
