Intrinsic Electronic Conduction Mechanisms in Self-Assembled Monolayers
A review on the mechanisms and characterization methods of molecular electronic transport is presented. Using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols in a nanometer scale device structure, tunneling is unambiguously demonstrated as the main conduction mechanism for large bandgap SAMs, exhibiting well-known temperature and length dependencies. Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy e...
متن کاملAsymmetric printing of molecules and zeolites on self assembled monolayers.
Microcontact printing (mCP) is used to immobilize dyes and peptides asymmetrically, by a "peptide coupling" reaction, on monolayers of zeolite L crystals in the contact area between the stamp and the surface of the monolayer. Chemically patterned surfaces of monolayers of zeolite L crystals are obtained by using patterned stamps with different ink solutions. Additional printing of functionalize...
متن کاملOxidizing octadecylphosphonic acid molecules without disrupting their self-assembled monolayers
In examination of oxidation of octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared on the native oxide of a Si wafer upon exposure to UV/ozone (UVO) for up to 5 min, atomic force microscopy studies of the surface elucidated that there were no changes in morphology of the SAMs. Surprisingly, investigations on the same samples of OPA SAMs using time-of-flight secondary ion ma...
متن کاملSelf-assembled monolayers that transduce enzymatic activities to electrical signals.
The development of chemical methods to control the interactions of materials with proteins, enzymes, and cells is important to fundamental studies in chemical biology and to many applications in biotechnology. A wide range of strategies for immobilizing ligands to materials now allows excellent control over ligand–receptor interactions at an interface. An emerging theme in this field aims to ad...
متن کاملInteraction effects in electric transport through self-assembled molecular monolayers
We theoretically investigate the effect of intermolecular Coulomb interactions on transport through selfassembled molecular monolayers (or other devices based on a large number of nanoscale conductors connected in parallel). Due to the interactions, the current through different molecules become correlated, resulting in distinct features in the nonlinear current-voltage characteristics, as we s...
