Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of thioaromatic self-assembled monolayers on gold and silver
S. Frey,Volker Stadler,K. Heister,Wolfgang Eck,Michael Zharnikov,Michael Grunze,Björn Zeysing,Andreas Terfort +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed from thiophenol, 1,1'-biphenyl-4-thiol and anthracene-2 -thiol on polycrystalline Au and Ag.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of X-ray Induced Damage in Alkanethiolate Monolayers by High-Resolution Photoelectron Spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the damage in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols (AT) on Au caused by soft X-rays was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron-induced crosslinking of aromatic self-assembled monolayers: Negative resists for nanolithography
Wolfgang Geyer,Volker Stadler,Wolfgang Eck,Michael Zharnikov,Armin Gölzhäuser,Michael Grunze +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of self-assembled monolayers of 1,1′-biphenyl-4-thiol (BPT) with low energy electrons was explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light‐Powered Electrical Switch Based on Cargo‐Lifting Azobenzene Monolayers
Violetta Ferri,Mark Elbing,Giuseppina Pace,Michael D. Dickey,Michael Zharnikov,Paolo Samorì,Marcel Mayor,Maria Anita Rampi +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, upon irradiation, azobenzene SAMs incorporated in a junction between an Au(111) surface and a mercury drop are able to lift the “heavy” Hg drop, and reversibly photoswitch the current flowing through the junction, which provides an ideal system as a potential “cargo” lifter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperative light-induced molecular movements of highly ordered azobenzene self-assembled monolayers.
Giuseppina Pace,Violetta Ferri,Christian Grave,Mark Elbing,Carsten von Hänisch,Michael Zharnikov,Marcel Mayor,Maria Anita Rampi,Paolo Samorì +8 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, the switching of entire molecular 2D crystalline domains is observed, which is ruled by the interactions between nearest neighbors, and this observation of azobenzene-based systems displaying collective switching might be of interest for applications in high-density data storage.
