چکیده

Azobenzene-containing compounds were covalently attached onto Si(111) surfaces via Si-O linkages using a two-step procedure. The modified Si(111) surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy measurements. The monolayer surface showed preferably chemical stability. Switchable photoisomerizability of azobenzene molecules on these modified surfaces was observed in response to alternating UV and visible light exposure. The measured conductivity showed distinct difference with trans and cis forms of azobenzene compounds on as-modified Si(111) surfaces.

Molecularly Controlled Modulation of Conductance on Azobenzene Monolayer-Modified Silicon Surfaces

Controlled modulation of silicon surface properties is of great importance for the development of siliconbased molecular electronic devices because of the ubiquitous role of silicon in microelectronics. In this article, photoresponsive azobenzene molecules were covalently grafted onto hydrogen-terminated Si(111) surfaces via Si-C linkages. These direct Si-C bond linkages are preferred over Si-O...

Monitoring the reversible photoisomerization of an azobenzene-functionalized molecular triazatriangulene platform on Au(111) by IRRAS.

Spectroscopic evidence of a reversible, photoinduced trans ↔ cis photoisomerization is provided for an azobenzene-functionalized triazatriangulene (TATA) platform on Au(111). As shown by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), these molecules form a well-ordered self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on Au(111). The surface-adsorbed azo-TATA platforms are also in...

Coverage-driven dissociation of azobenzene on Cu(111): a route towards defined surface functionalization.

We investigate the surface-catalyzed dissociation of the archetypal molecular switch azobenzene on the Cu(111) surface. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, normal incidence X-ray standing waves and density functional theory calculations a detailed picture of the coverage-induced formation of phenyl nitrene from azobenzene is presented. Furthermore, a comparison to the azobenzene/Ag(111) ...
