Although a molecular monolayer is only a few nanometers thick it can completely change
the properties of a surface. Molecular monolayers can be readily prepared using the …

The ability to organize matter on the nanometer scale is one of the major enabling principles
in the field of nanotechnology. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has been a key tool in …

Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications provides a comprehensive
introduction to nanomaterials, from how to make them to example properties, processing …

The size regime for devices produced by photolithographic techniques is limited. Therefore,
other patterning techniques have been intensively studied to create smaller structures …

We have explored the interaction of self-assembled monolayers of 1, 1′-biphenyl-4-thiol
(BPT) with low energy electrons. X-ray photoelectron, infrared, and near edge x-ray …

Micropatterning of organosilane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was demonstrated on
the basis of photolithography using an excimer lamp radiating vacuum ultraviolet light of 172 …

Soon after the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) 1 and the scanning or
atomic force microscope (SFM/AFM), 2 researchers found that subsequent images of an …

The highly compact and globular shape, as well as the uniform size and plurifunctionality of
dendrimers make them ideal molecular building blocks for a wide range of interfacial …

Expectations of a technological revolution are associated with nanotechnology, and indeed
the generation, modification and utilization of objects with tiniest dimensions already …

Laser ablation of polymers has been studied with designed materials to evaluate the
mechanism of ablation and the role of photochemically active groups on the ablation …
