Interaction of self-assembled monolayers of DNA with electrons: HREELS and XPS studies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results from high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and XPS studies of self-assembled monolayers of DNA. The monolayers are well-organized and display sharp vibrational peaks in the HREEL spectra. The electrons interact mainly with the backbone of the DNA. The XPS results indicate that, in most of the samples studied, the phosphates on the DNA are not charged.

Electron stimulated desorption of anions containing Oxygen and Nitrogen from self- assembled monolayers of DNA
The electron stimulated desorption of anions from self-assembled monolayers of double stranded DNA is reported. Desorption of the oxygen and nitrogen containing anions O ̄ , OH ̄ , CN ̄ , OCN ̄ , and OCNH ̄ is induced by the impact of 0.1-20 eV electrons. The anion desorption yields, measured as a function of incident electron energy exhibit pronounced maxima that can be attributed to dissociative e...
متن کاملFull membrane spanning self-assembled monolayers as model systems for UHV-based studies of cell-penetrating peptides.
Biophysical studies of the interaction of peptides with model membranes provide a simple yet effective approach to understand the transport of peptides and peptide based drug carriers across the cell membrane. Herein, the authors discuss the use of self-assembled monolayers fabricated from the full membrane-spanning thiol (FMST) 3-((14-((4'-((5-methyl-1-phenyl-35-(phytanyl)oxy-6,9,12,15,18,21,2...
متن کاملScanning probe lithography of self-assembled monolayers
Systematic studies on scanning probe lithography (SPL) methodologies have been performed using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au as examples. The key to achieving high spatial precision is to keep the tip-surface interactions strong and local. Approaches include three atomic force microscopy (AFM) based methods, nanoshaving, nanografting, and nanopen reader and writer (NPRW), which rely on...
متن کاملMonolayer vs. multilayer self-assembled alkylphosphonate films: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies
Combining functional organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with conventional semiconductor materials is a key step in the development of integrated electronics-based devices. T-BAG (Tethering by Aggregation and Growth) has been shown to be a simple and reliable method to grow SAMs of alkylphosphonates on oxide surfaces. However, distinguishing SAMs from ultra-thin multilayers is a challenge ...
متن کاملFormation of a nickel hydroxide monolayer on Au through a self-assembled monolayer of 5,5%-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid): voltammetric, SERS and XPS investigations of the modified electrodes
The formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of 5,5%-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid), DNBA on gold has enabled further derivatization of the electrode surface with functional moieties anchored to the surface bound molecules. A SAM of DNBA was formed on the Au surface. Nickel ions tethered to the SAM-covered Au surface, were subsequently derivatized electrochemically to yield nickel hydroxid...
