TL;DR: In this paper, the rutile TiO2(110) surface immersed in high-purity water is studied by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy, and the large-scale surface morphology as obtained after preparation under UHV conditions remains unchanged upon prolonged exposure to bulk water.

TL;DR: The main problems in the design and characterization of broad selectivity sensors are presented and discussed in the case of a class of molecules, such as metallo-porphyrins, which have been recently exploited as sensitive layers in electronic nose applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of oligothiophene thin films by organic molecular beam deposition was studied by atomic force microscopy and monitoring the film growth in situ and in real-time by reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) has been employed to study in situ the growth of thin α-sexithiophene films by organic molecular beam deposition onto an organic substrate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined spectroscopic studies and AFM morphological characterisation of tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives to reveal that these layered films feature a consistent degree of order.
