Odd-even effects on structure and property is a widely observed phenomenon in chemistry,
physics, biology, and materials sciences. In general, it describes an alternative alteration of …

This review examines the use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold as nanoscale
protective coatings for both nominally flat substrates and for nanoparticles. The thermal and …

Graphene oxide (GO) is assembled on a gold substrate by a layer-by-layer technique using
a self-assembled cystamine monolayer. The negatively charged GO platelets are attached to …

This paper describes the functionalization of the surfaces of gold nanoshells, which consist
of silica nanoparticles coated with a continuous thin layer of gold. Previous studies have …

While organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites are emerging as promising materials for next-
generation photovoltaic applications, the origins and pathways of perovskite instability …

In the past decade, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has revealed new information
regarding self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organothiols on Au (111) at the molecular …

The wettabilities of fluorinated polymers were evaluated using a series of contacting probe
liquids ranging in nature from nonpolar aprotic to polar aprotic to polar protic. Fully …

The spontaneous adsorption of organic molecules on a variety of planar and nonplanar
substrates, that is, self assembly, can generate films just one molecule thick. These …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have recently been demonstrated as a promising lubricating material.
However, data on ILs with splendid solubility in non-polar oil and their low-temperature …

This article reviews recent progress in the characterization of self-assembled monolayers
(SAMs) with a chalcogen headgroup by synchrotron-based high-resolution X-ray …
