Structure and Thermodynamics of Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold Nanocrystallites
Equilibrium structures and thermodynamic properties of dodecanethiol self-assembled monolayers on small (Au140) and larger (Au1289) gold nanocrystallites were investigated with the use of molecular dynamics simulations. Compact passivating monolayers are formed on the (111) and (100) facets of the nanocrystallites, with adsorption site geometries differing from those found on extended flat Au(1...
متن کاملFirst-principles study on the electronic structure of Thiophenbithiol (TBT) on Au(100) surface
First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...

متن کاملTwo-dimensional ordering of benzenethiol self-assembled monolayers guided by displacement of cyclohexanethiols on Au(111).
Although the adsorption of benzenethiols (BT) on Au(111) usually leads to the formation of disordered phases, we demonstrate here that the displacement of preadsorbed cyclohexanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) by BT molecules can be a successful approach to obtain two-dimensional BT SAMs with long-range ordered domains.
متن کاملThe interface structure of n-alkylthiolate self-assembled monolayers on coinage metal surfaces.
The current state of understanding of the structure of the metal/thiolate interface of n-alkylthiolate 'self-assembled monolayers' (SAMs) on Cu(111), Ag(111) and Au(111) is reviewed. On Cu(111) and Ag(111) there is now clear evidence that adsorbate-induced reconstruction of the outermost metal layer occurs to a less atomically-dense structure, with the S head-group atom bonded to four-fold and ...
