Nanoscience includes the study of objects and systems in which at least one dimension is 1-
100 nm. The objects studied in this range of sizes are larger than atoms and small …

Over the last three decades, self-assembled molecular films on solid surfaces have attracted
widespread interest as an intellectual and technological challenge to chemists, physicists …

The structural phases and the growth of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are reviewed
from a surface science perspective, with emphasis on simple model systems. The concept of …

Redox-active self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) provide an excellent platform for
investigating electron transfer kinetics. Using a well-defined bridge, a redox center can be …

The understandings and applications of self-assembly have evolved significantly since the
adsorption of n-alkyldisulfides on gold surfaces was first reported. The desire to produce …

In the early 1930s, amphiphile monolayers were used to control the wetting behavior of
metal condenser plates in steam engines. 1-3 Wettability control was desired because …

Stacking of poly (3-alkylthiophene) s P3RThs and poly (4-alkylthiazole) s P4RTzs has been
studied. Light scattering analysis indicates that head-to-tail (HT) type HT-P3HexTh (R= n …

We demonstrate control and improvement of charge injection in organic electronic devices
by utilizing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to manipulate the Schottky energy barrier …

The adsorption of large organic molecules on surfaces has recently been the subject of
intensive investigation, both because of the molecules' intrinsic physical and chemical …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed from thiophenol, 1, 1 '-biphenyl-4-thiol, 1, 1 '; 4 ',
1 ''-terphenyl-4-thiol, and anthracene-2-thiol on polycrystalline Au and Ag were …
