Application of visible-light photosensitization to form alkyl-radical-derived thin films on gold
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2017, 8, 1863–1877, doi:10.3762/bjnano.8.187
- strongly attached alkyl thin films on Au(111). Further, AFM nanoshaving [50] experiments performed at forces as high as 10 nN showed that removal of a decyl radical-derived film using mechanical force could not be effected easily. Photosensitizer (Ru(bpy)3Cl2), phthalimide ester, BNAH, and blue LED
- irradiation all proved necessary for the deposition of robust films that could survive nanoshaving. In addition to characterizations with AFM, grazing angle infrared reflectance–absorbance spectroscopy (IRRAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF SIMS
- spring constant of 40 N/m (Budget Sensors, Innovative Solutions Bulgaria Ltd.) were used to acquire topography and corresponding phase images with tapping mode. Nanoshaving experiments were conducted using a liquid cell containing ethanolic solution. Contact mode in liquid was used for nanoshaving using
Investigating organic multilayers by spectroscopic ellipsometry: specific and non-specific interactions of polyhistidine with NTA self-assembled monolayers
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2016, 7, 544–553, doi:10.3762/bjnano.7.48
- nanolithography methods, such as the so-called nanoshaving [49], that considerably helped to reduce the uncertainty related to the correlation between thickness and refractive index that is typical of ultrathin films. A step forward, we intend to apply the same methods to control the adsorption of the analyte
Surface assembly and nanofabrication of 1,1,1-tris(mercaptomethyl)heptadecane on Au(111) studied with time-lapse atomic force microscopy
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 26–35, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.3
- changes at different time intervals were captured by successive AFM images. Scanning probe based nanofabrication was accomplished using protocols of nanografting and nanoshaving with n-alkanethiols and a tridentate molecule, 1,1,1-tris(mercaptomethyl)heptadecane (TMMH). Nanografted patterns of TMMH could
- using protocols of nanoshaving and nanografting [32][33]. Of course, the solvents chosen for AFM liquid experiments should be optically transparent, and must have a relatively slow rate of evaporation (e.g., water, ethanol, butanol, or hexadecane). Surface self-assembly of TMMH. A liquid AFM study was
- Information File 1). For nanoshaving, a higher force was applied to the AFM tip during scans to sweep away TMMH molecules from the gold surface (Figure 1e). The experiment was terminated after 6 h before the surface reached saturation coverage (Figure 1f). With higher magnification, the thickness of the
Site-selective growth of surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks on self-assembled monolayer patterns prepared by AFM nanografting
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2013, 4, 638–648, doi:10.3762/bjnano.4.71
- grown via LPE were investigated and characterized by atomic force microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared microscopy. Keywords: atomic force microscopy (AFM); metal-organic frameworks; nanografting; nanoshaving; SURMOF; Introduction Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly crystalline three
- fabrication of structures within SAMs [26] of higher resolution can be obtained by nanoshaving and nanografting [27] or other methods based on scanning probe microscopy techniques, e.g., atomic force microscopy (AFM) [28][29]. Both lithography methods allow for lateral structuring with resolutions down to
- several nanometers. They are based on the cleavage of the bond between the thiolate species and the Au-substrate by an AFM tip. Depending on the applied force this cleavage can be carried out without scratching the substrate. Another advantage of the nanoshaving technique is the possibility to perform it
