Elastomeric stamps and molds provide a great opportunity to eliminate some of the
disadvantages of photolithograpy, which is currently the leading technology for fabricating …

The focus of nanoscience and nanotechnology is gradually shifting from the synthesis of
individual components to their assembly into larger systems and nanostructured materials …

This work is the first report on a hole-selective tin-based perovskite solar cell (PSC) using
the concept of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) to modify the ITO surface to fabricate a …

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 …

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), such as indium tin oxide and zinc oxide, play an
important role as electrode materials in organic-semiconductor devices. The properties of …

▪ Abstract Recent applications of various in situ techniques have dramatically improved our
understanding of the self-organization process of adsorbed molecular monolayers on solid …

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 …

The use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in various fields of research is rapidly
growing. In particular, many biomedical fields apply SAMs as an interface-layer between a …

The self-assembly mechanism of alkanethiol monolayers on the (111) surface of gold was
discovered with the use of an ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscope. Monolayer …
