Journal ArticleDOI
Patterning self-assembled monolayers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce patterned features into both self-assembling monolayers and the substrates that support them as the parameters controlling SAM formation and dynamics are better understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase Separation within a Binary Self-Assembled Monolayer on Au{111} Driven by an Amide-Containing Alkanethiol
Rachel K. Smith,Scott M. Reed,Penelope A. Lewis,Jason D. Monnell,Robert S. Clegg,Kevin F. Kelly,Lloyd A. Bumm,James E. Hutchison,Paul S. Weiss +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase separation of a self-assembled monolayer formed from a binary mixture of adsorbates, n-decanethiol, and an amide-containing alkanethiol of similar length was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Engineering and Measurements To Test Hypothesized Mechanisms in Single Molecule Conductance Switching
Amanda M. Moore,Arrelaine A. Dameron,Brent A. Mantooth,Rachel K. Smith,Daniel J. Fuchs,Jacob W. Ciszek,Francisco Maya,Yuxing Yao,James M. Tour,Paul S. Weiss +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, six customized phenylene-ethynylene-based oligomers have been studied for their electronic properties using scanning tunneling microscopy to test hypothesized mechanisms of stochastic conductance switching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swarming dynamics in bacterial colonies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determine and relate the characteristic velocity, length, and time scales for bacterial motion in swarming colonies of Paenibacillus dendritiformis growing on semi-solid agar substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Buried Hydrogen Bonds in Self-Assembled Mixed Composition Thiols on Au{111}
Penelope A. Lewis,Rachel K. Smith,Kevin F. Kelly,Lloyd A. Bumm,Scott M. Reed,Robert S. Clegg,John D. Gunderson,James E. Hutchison, ,‡ and,Paul S. Weiss +8 more
TL;DR: The role of internal functionality in self-assembled monolayers of a family of amide-containing alkanethiol molecules on Au{111} using scanning tunneling microscopy was investigated in this article.
