We review recent developments in the area of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and their
applications. First, we discuss issues related to the structure, the phase transitions, the …

The modification of electrode surfaces by depositing self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs)
provides the possibility for controlled adjustment of various key parameters in organic and …

Gold can be deposited as nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters of 2–5 nm and clusters with
diameters less than 2 nm on a variety of materials such as oxides, carbides, and sulfides of …

The focus of the present article is on understanding the insight that X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) measurements can provide when studying self-assembled monolayers …

Alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) phases on Au (111) have been assumed to
involve direct S head group bonding to the substrate. Using x-ray standing wave …

The adsorption structure of methylthiolate (CH 3 S) adsorbed on Au (111), a long-standing
controversial issue, has been unambiguously determined by scanned-energy and scanned …

We study the dipole formation at the surface formed by− CH3 and− CF3 terminated short-
chain alkylthiolate monolayers on Au (111). In particular, we monitor the change in work …

Using normal incidence X-ray standing wave (NIXSW) analysis, we show that the sulphur
head group occupies the atop site for methyl-, butyl-and octyl-thiolates on Au (111), with a …

Self-assembled monolayers have attracted much attention recently due to their ease of
formation and affinity to metal substrates. This report reviews research conducted over the …

The atomic and electronic structures of Au∕ TiO 2 (110) systems have been investigated
theoretically based on the density-functional theory. We have examined Au adsorption on …
