The book describes the experimental techniques employed to study surfaces and interfaces.
The emphasis is on the experimental method. Therefore all chapters start with an …

α, ω‐Dithiols present an interesting case of molecules with two reactive terminal‐SH groups
(HS‐R‐SH) that allow their use as binders between different metallic entities. They have …

The present research is aimed at developing a more economic and ecological way to
improve the biocompatibility of medical-grade stainless steel. In order to accomplish the …

A study of the self-assembly of 1, 4-benzenedimethanethiol (BDMT; HS− CH2−(C6H4)−
CH2− SH) monolayers on gold is presented. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are …

A comparative study on the adsorption of buthanedithiol (BDT), hexanedithiol (HDT), and
nonanedithiol (NDT) on Au (111) from ethanolic and n-hexane solutions and two different …

We report a study of the self-assembly of 1, 4-benzenedimethanethiol monolayers on gold
formed in n-hexane solution held at 60° C for 30 min and in dark conditions. The valence …

Characteristic core level binding energies (CLBEs) are regularly used to infer the modes of
molecular adsorption: orientation, organization, and dissociation processes. Here, we focus …

We report a systematic study of thiophene derivatives on gold surfaces. These molecules
are of interest in molecular electronics, and the characracteristics of the thiophene–electrode …

Mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are often used as highly tunable substrates for
biomedical and biosensing applications. It is well documented, however, that mixed SAMs …

The adsorption mechanism of linear aliphatic α, ω-dithiols with chain lengths of 6, 8 and 10
carbon atoms on silver and gold nanoparticles has been studied by surface-enhanced …
