The recent emergence of molecular films as candidates for functional electronic materials
has prompted numerous investigations of the underlying mechanisms responsible for their …

Biological atomic force microscopy (AFM) has become a rapidly developing interdisciplinary
field of research in recent years. Not only has the technique, including instrumentation and …

This completely updated and revised second edition of Surface Analysis: The Principal
Techniques, deals with the characterisation and understanding of the outer layers of …

Investigations of long-chain hydrocarbon and substituted hydrocarbon materials
physisorbed at the liquid− solid interface have provided a particularly fruitful area of …

A series of functionalized alkanes and/or alkyl alcohols have been prepared and imaged by
scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) methods on graphite surfaces. The stability of these …

William Steele was born in St. Louis, MO, In 1930. He received a BA in chemistry from
Wesleyan University (Connecticut) in 1951 and a Ph. D. in physical chemistry from the …

The dynamics of oligomer desorption from surfaces have been studied by measuring the
desorption kinetics of a set of n-alkanes from the surface of single crystalline graphite …

Solutions of triacontane/triacontanol in different solvents have been investigated to
determine the importance of the long chain hydrocarbon functional group and the solvent in …

We report the observation by scanning tunneling microscopy of the emergence of chirality
through the self-assembly into monolayers of nonchiral discotic liquid crystals, hexakis-2, 3 …

The morphology of monolayers formed upon adsorption of prochiral 1, 5-substituted
anthracene derivatives on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite is investigated using scanning …
