The activation of O2 on metal surfaces is a critical process for heterogeneous catalysis and
materials oxidation. Fundamental studies of well-defined metal surfaces using a variety of …

The adsorption of partially fluorinated amphiphiles on metal/metal oxide surfaces allows for
the generation of specifically fluorinated thin-film interfaces. Such surfaces are often …

We have conducted investigations of the energy transfer dynamics of atomic oxygen and
argon scattering from hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon surfaces. In light of these results, we …

Biofouling negatively impacts modern society on a daily basis, especially with regard to the
important industries of medicine, oil, and shipping. This manuscript describes the …

This paper describes the influence of the substitution of fluorine for hydrogen on the rate of
charge transport by hole tunneling through junctions of the form AgTSO2C (CH2) n (CF2) m …

The presence of surface dipoles in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) gives rise to
profound effects on the interfacial properties of the films. For example, CF3-terminated …

A series of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed on Au (111) from partially fluorinated
alkanethiols (PFAT) with variable length of the fluorocarbon chain, viz. F (CF2) n (CH2) …

We report two-dimensional model systems to study the electrocatalytic activities of dinuclear
copper complexes for various electrocatalytic reactions including the oxygen reduction …

Mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) generated from perfluoro-, n-alkyl-, and oligo
(ethylene glycol)-terminated alkanedithiols were utilized to prepare two-dimensional …

The direction and magnitude of surface dipoles directly affect the interfacial properties and
can be tuned through molecular design. This article examines the effect of a hydrocarbon …
