Conductive Scanning Force Microscopy on Linear-chain Organic Films

چکیده
The electrical properties of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organic molecules on metal surfaces have gained particular interest due to their potential applications in nanometer-scaled electronics systems [1]. Understanding the transport mechanism through these thin molecular films as well as the dependence of the conductivity on the molecular length and structure, the applied load and the enviromental conditions are key issues for future applications.

Polymer Films on Electrodes. 30. Electrochemistry and Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy Characterization of Benzimidazolebenzophenanthroline-Type Ladder (BBL) and Semiladder (BBB) Polymer Films
Polymer-modified electrodes were obtained by spin-coating solutions of poly(benzobisimidazobenzophenanthroline) ladder (BBL) and semiladder (BBB) polymers on indium-tin oxide electrodes. An electrochemical study of these films showed reproducible and stable cyclic voltammograms for reduction of the polymer (in the absence of oxygen), the absence of waves for oxidation of the polymer, and brilli...
متن کاملElectrochemical Monitoring of TiO2 Atomic Layer Deposition by Chronoamperometry and Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy
The scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) was used to characterize the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of TiO2 on indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) substrates by studying electron transfer through pores in the thin films (1−5 nm thickness). The extent of electron transfer, and thus the porosity of the films, was evaluated by transient electrochemistry. These studies show that ALD deposition of Ti...

Highly transparent and conductive monolayer graphene was used as a template to tune the crystal orientation of pentacene from generic standing-up (001) to lying-down (022) in neat films. Spatially resolved Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) was used to reveal the energy levels of pentacene thin films grown on substrates with and without the template graphene layer, as well as the energy level...
