The book describes the experimental techniques employed to study surfaces and interfaces.
The emphasis is on the experimental method. Therefore all chapters start with an …

Current studies in the Li-battery field are focusing on building systems with higher energy
density than ever before. The path toward this goal, however, should not ignore aspects …

Leakage accidents often occur during the production, transportation, and use of petroleum
products, which is a common and serious environmental issue. It is of great significance and …

α, ω‐Dithiols present an interesting case of molecules with two reactive terminal‐SH groups
(HS‐R‐SH) that allow their use as binders between different metallic entities. They have …

A self assembled monolayer (SAM) of sodium oleate was generated on mild steel by the dip
coating method. Formation of the SAM on mild steel was examined using Infrared Reflection …

We report quantitative analysis of tunneling conductance in molecular junctions based on
self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of oligophenylene dimethanethiols (OPDMn) in which …

Here, a comprehensive study of a label‐free detection platform for the recognition of
oligonucleotide sequences based on hybridization of thiol‐tethered DNA strands self …

Aminophosphonates were chosen for a first step functionalization of TiO2 grown on titanium,
as they possess a phosphonate group on one end, that can be exploited for coupling with …

Until now, the ability to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a surface has been
investigated according to deposition techniques, which in turn depend on surface-coater …

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) have proven to be very efficient in building up omniphobic surfaces
because of the peculiar properties of fluorine atoms. However, due to their environmental …
