Monomer exchange dynamics of self-assembled surfactant monolayers at the solid-liquid interface.
Self-assembly of surface-active agents at solid–liquid interfaces is critical for many processes in nature and technology, including the stability of suspension, detergency, wetting and mineral separation. Historically, a detailed understanding of nanometer-scale layers has emerged. However, surprisingly little is known about their dynamics—the key to non-equilibrium phenomena. Even in equilibr...
متن کاملElectronic transport in self-assembled alkanethiol monolayers
Electron tunneling through self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols is investigated. Temperature-dependent current– voltage measurements are performed to distinguish between di erent conduction mechanisms. Temperature-independent electron transport is observed, proving direct tunneling as the dominant conduction mechanism of alkanethiols. An exponential dependence of tunneling current on molec...
متن کاملNHC-Based Self-Assembled Monolayers on Solid Gold Substrates.
Thin films of 1,3-diethylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene (BIEt) were fabricated from THF solution on solid gold substrates and characterised by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The surface-analytical data are in accord with the formation of self-assembled monolayers of BIEt molecules exhibiting an approximately vertical orientation on the su...
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...
متن کاملOdd-even effects in charge transport across self-assembled monolayers.
This paper compares charge transport across self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-alkanethiols containing odd and even numbers of methylenes. Ultraflat template-stripped silver (Ag(TS)) surfaces support the SAMs, while top electrodes of eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) contact the SAMs to form metal/SAM//oxide/EGaIn junctions. The EGaIn spontaneously reacts with ambient oxygen to form a thin (∼1...
