In the past decade, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has revealed new information
regarding self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organothiols on Au (111) at the molecular …

In situ x-ray-scattering studies of the Au (111) electrode surface have been carried out in
NaF, NaCl, LiCl, CsCl, KCl, and NaBr solutions using grazing-incident-angle diffraction and …

We report in situ scanning tunneling microscopy at atomic-layer resolution of the
topographic changes accompanying electrochemical reactions. In dilute perchloric acid, Au …

We describe a general method for the quantitative determination of the interlayer mass
transport in epitaxial growth. Through measurement of the nucleation rate on top of islands …

Diffusion on surfaces is important in surface processes where adsorbates must reach
special sites to undergo reaction, in film growth to allow epitaxial or other special growth …

This exciting new handbook investigates the characterization of surfaces. It emphasizes
experimental techniques for imaging of solid surfaces and theoretical strategies for …

As an organic nanostructure, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) play a central role in many
aspects of nanotechnology, including molecular electronics. In this work, we show that SAMs …

Size-dependent inter-atomic distance contraction was investigated by Extended X-ray
Absorption Fine Structure in thiol-capped gold nanoparticles. A slight nearest-neighbor …

There is a demand for ultra low-loss metal films with high-quality single crystals and perfect
surface for nanophotonics and quantum information processing. Many researches are …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses heteroepitaxial metal growth. Epitaxial thin films
have attracted considerable attention in recent years in the search for new materials. The …
