Stability: A key issue for self-assembled monolayers on gold as thin-film coatings and nanoparticle protectants

L Srisombat, AC Jamison, TR Lee - Colloids and Surfaces A …, 2011 - Elsevier
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 …

Icelike water monolayer adsorbed on mica at room temperature

PB Miranda, L Xu, YR Shen, M Salmeron - Physical review letters, 1998 - APS
The structure of a water film formed on mica at room temperature, in equilibrium with water
vapor at various relative humidities (RH), was studied using sum-frequency-generation …
