Ion-induced erosion of organic self-assembled monolayers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laser post-ionization mass spectrometry combined with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) has been used to investigate processes of ion-stimulated erosion of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of phenethyl mercaptan C6H5CH2CH2S (PEM) deposited on gold. Results indicate that only PEM fragments are emitted from the surface. Most of the PEM fragments (predominantly C6H5CH2CH3 with m/z 106) are emitted with thermal kinetic energies. STM images collected on 8 keV H2 -irradiated surfaces with a system tuned to probe electronic states of sulfur atoms show no additional damage induced by irradiation. This indicates that sulfur atoms are not removed from the surface during hydrogen bombardment. It is proposed that the emission of SAM molecules is initiated by chemical reactions which gently break C±S bonds. Ó 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 82.80 Ms; 79.20 Rf

Fluorinated 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 ...

Ultrathin (submicrometer) organic films of specified index of refraction are constructed by the sequential deposition of self-assembled zirconium phosphonate (ZP) molecular monolayers that contain two Merent bisphosphonate ions, 1,lO-decanediylbis(phosphonate) (DBP) and 4,4azobis[(p-phenylene)methylenelbis(phosphonate) (AZO). By varying the ratio of DBP to AZO monolayers in the ZP multilayer fi...

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...

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used in a variety of emerging applications for surface modification of metals and oxides. Here, we demonstrate a new type of molecular self-assembly: the growth of organosilane SAMs at the surface of organic semiconductors. Remarkably, SAM growth results in a pronounced increase of the surface conductivity of organic materials, which can be very large...
