This article reviews recent progress in the spectroscopic characterization of aliphatic and
aromatic thiol-derived self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on noble metal substrates …

In this paper, we review and discuss the use of electron spectroscopies to characterize self-
assembled monolayers (SAMs). The review concentrates on thiol-derived monolayers on …

Environment‐related degradation and lead leakage in perovskite solar cells have posed a
big challenge for their commercialization. Here, design of superhydrophobic surfaces is …

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) is an emerging anchor moiety for surface engineering and
various applications. While various deposition conditions have been reported, how these …

While high-mobility p-type conjugated polymers have been widely reported, high-mobility n-
type conjugated polymers are still rare. In the present work, we designed semifluorinated …

Work functions of gold and silver are varied by over 1.4 and 1.7 eV, respectively, by using
self‐assembled monolayers. Using these modified electrodes, the hole current in a poly (2 …

Gold surfaces modified with C3− C18-alkanethiols (CH3 (CH2) X-1SH; HX SH; x= 3, 8, 12,
16, 18) and C16-alkanethiols, fluorinated at the outer 1, 2, 4, and 10 methylene positions …

The focus of the present article is on understanding the insight that X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) measurements can provide when studying self-assembled monolayers …

We study the dipole formation at the surface formed by− CH3 and− CF3 terminated short-
chain alkylthiolate monolayers on Au (111). In particular, we monitor the change in work …

We have used infrared spectroscopy, ellipsometry, and contact angle measurements to
study self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formation on aluminum native oxide from three …
