Infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) techniques have been employed to investigate human serum albumin (HSA) binding to binary monolayers of zwitterionic dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cationic dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DOMA). At the air-water interface, the favorable electrostatic interaction between DPPC and DOMA leads to a dense chain packing. The tilt angle of the hydrocarbon chains decreases with increasing mole fraction of DOMA (X(DOMA)) in the monolayers at the surface pressure 30 mN/m: DPPC ( approximately 30 degrees ), X(DOMA) = 0.1 ( approximately 15 degrees ), and X(DOMA) = 0.3 ( approximately 0 degrees ). Negligible protein binding to the DPPC monolayer is observed in contrast to a significant binding to the binary monolayers. After HSA binding, the hydrocarbon chains at X(DOMA) = 0.1 undergo an increase in tilt angle from 15 degrees to 25 approximately 30 degrees , and the chains at X(DOMA) = 0.3 remain almost unchanged. The two components in the monolayers deliver through lateral reorganization, induced by the protein in the subphase, to form multiple interaction sites favorable for protein binding. The surfaces with a high protein affinity are created through the directed assembly of binary monolayers for use in biosensing. 相似文献

The fine structure in the solid state and phase transition behavior of newly synthesized comb copolymers having fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon side‐chains were investigated by temperature controlled wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). From the WAXD profiles, two kinds of short spacing peaks based on the formation of the subcell for fluorinated and hydrogenated side‐chains were confirmed at 5.0 and 4.1 Å, respectively. Furthermore, two kinds of endothermic peaks, which corresponded to melting peaks of both side‐chain crystals, appeared in heating process of the DSC thermograms. From these experimental findings, the phase separation structure having the independently packed immiscible side‐chain crystalline was formed in the whole polymer crystal. In addition, it was found that these comb polymers formed highly ordered (double) layer structure estimated using WAXD and small angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). These fluorinated comb copolymers form a monolayer on the water surface and their transferred film with phase‐separated structure at nanometer size on solid. There were hydrogenated domains at 10–20 nm diameter scales in these phase separated surface structure of monolayers. From these experimental results, these copolymer monolayers are expected to be used as a new molecular device such as nanolithography based on the surface patterning of polymer nanomaterials. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ferritin-directed assembly of binary monolayers of zwitterionic dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and cationic dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DOMA) at the interface and surface patterns of ferritin on the monolayers have been investigated using a combination of infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, and atomic force microscopy. Ferritin binding to the binary monolayers at the air-water interface at the surface pressure 30 mN/m, primarily driven by the electrostatic interaction, gives rise to a change in tilt angle of hydrocarbon chains from 15 degrees +/- 1 degrees to 10 degrees +/- 1 degrees with respect to the normal of the monolayer at the mole fraction of DOMA (XDOMA) of 0.1. The chains at XDOMA = 0.3 are oriented vertical to the water surface before and after protein binding. A new mechanism for protein binding to the binary monolayers is proposed. The secondary structures of the adsorbed ferritin are prevented from changing to some extent due to the existence of the monolayers. The amounts of the bound protein on the monolayers at the air-water interface are increased in comparison with those on the pre-immobilized monolayers at low XDOMA. The increased amounts and different patterns of the adsorbed protein at the monolayers are mostly attributed to the formation of multiple binding sites available for ferritin, which is due to the lateral reorganization of the lipid components in the monolayers induced by the protein in the subphase. The created multiple binding sites on the monolayer surfaces through the protein-directed assembly can be preserved for subsequent protein binding. 相似文献

The adsorption of n-alkanethiols onto polycrystalline thin films of palladium containing a strong (111) texture produces well-organized, self-assembled monolayers. The organization of the alkane chains in the monolayer and the nature of the bonding between the palladium and the thiol were studied by contact angle measurements, optical ellipsometry, reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The XPS data reveals that a compound palladium-sulfide interphase is present at the surface of the palladium film. The RAIR spectra, ellipsometry data, and wetting properties show that the palladium-sulfide phase is terminated with an organized, methyl-terminated monolayer of alkanethiolates. The local molecular environment of the alkane chains transitions from a conformationally disordered, liquidlike state to a mostly all-trans, crystalline-like structure with increasing chain length (n = 8-26). The intensities and dichroism of the methylene and methyl stretching modes support a model for the average orientation of an ensemble of all-trans-conformer chains with a tilt angle of approximately 14-18 degrees with respect to the surface normal and a twist angle of the CCC plane relative to the tilt plane of approximately 45 degrees. The SAMs are stable in air, although the sulfur present at the surface oxidizes in air over a period of 2-5 days at room temperature. The differences in chain organization between SAMs formed by microcontact printing and by solution deposition are also examined by RAIRS and XPS. 相似文献

The chain orientation in the monolayers of amino-acid-derived Schiff base, 4-(4-dodecyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)benzoic acid (DSA), at the air-water interface has been determined using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS). On pure water, a condensed monolayer is formed with the long axes of Schiff base segments almost perpendicular to the water surface. In the presence of metal ions (Ca2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+) in the subphase, the monolayer is expanded and the long axes of the Schiff base segments are inclined with respect to the monolayer normal depending on metal ion. The monolayer thickness, which is an important parameter for quantitative determination of orientation of hydrocarbon chains, is composed of alkyl chains and salicylideneaniline portions for the DSA monolayers. The effective thickness of the Schiff base portions is roughly estimated in the combination of the IRRAS results and surface pressure-area isotherms for computer simulation, since the only two observable p- and s-polarized reflectance-absorbance (RA) values can be obtained. The alkyl chains with almost all-trans conformations are oriented at an angle of about 10 degrees for H2O, 15 degrees for Ca2+, 30 degrees for Co2+, 35 degrees -40 degrees for Zn2+, and 35 degrees -40 degrees for Ni2+ with respect to the monolayer normal. The chain segments linked with gauche conformers in the case of Cu2+ are estimated to be 40 degrees -50 degrees away from the normal. 相似文献

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monomolecular layers of alkylhydroxamic acids and alkylphosphonic acids on copper and iron substrates have been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy. According to the XPS results, the structures of the hydroxamic acid and phosphonic acid Langmuir-Blodgett films are very similar: the thickness of the layer of the hydrocarbon tails is typically 1.9-2.1 nm, while the layer of headgroups is about 0.3-0.35 nm thick. The tilt angle of the carbon chains is estimated to be 20-30 degrees with respect to the sample surface normal, and the molecules are connected to the substrate via their headgroups. Analysis of the P 2p and N 1s lines indicates the presence of deprotonated headgroups. The substrate Cu 2p line includes a component which can be assigned to Cu(2+) ions in a thin Cu(OH)(2) layer. The deposition of LB layers led to significant decrease of the hydroxide-related signal, which indicates that binding of the headgroups to the surface is accompanied by the elimination of water molecules. The sum-frequency spectra also clearly indicate that well-ordered monolayers can be formed by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Since the non-resonant background from the metal substrates renders the analysis of the spectra more difficult, model system samples on glass were prepared. It was found that the alkyl chains of the adsorbed acids predominantly adopt the all-trans conformation and form an ordered structure. Upper limits for the mean tilt angle of the terminal methyl groups are approximately 10-20 degrees. 相似文献

We have grown 1-dodecandthiol (DDT) monolayer on a bare Si(111) surface through ultraviolet-assisted photochemical reaction. The resulting monolayer was investigated by means of water contact angle measurement, synchrotron radiation-based high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and polarization-dependent near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. These combined probes for characterization reveal a hydrophobic ambient surface; the DDT was directly attached to Si through a Si-S bond, and the molecules formed an ordered monolayer with an average tilt angle of 57° of the alkyl chains relative to the substrate surface. 相似文献

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been used to investigate the structure of pure and mixed monolayers formed by adsorption of long-chain alkanes and/or ethers on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite. Application of a pure phenyloctane solution of simple alkanes, such as tritriacontane, CH3(CH2)31CH3, produced a monolayer within which the individual molecular axes were oriented perpendicular to the lamellar axes. In contrast, a pure solution of symmetrical long-chain ethers, such as di-n-hexadecyl ether, CH3(CH2)15O(CH2)15CH3, produced a monolayer within which the molecular axes were oriented at an angle of approximately 65 degrees relative to the lamellar axes. The compositions of the overlying solutions were then gradually changed either from pure alkanes to nearly pure ethers or from pure ethers to nearly pure alkanes. When ethers replaced alkanes in the monolayer, the ethers conformed to the orientation within the existing alkane layer, rather than adopting the characteristic orientation of pure ether monolayers. However, when alkanes were incorporated into monolayers that had been formed from pure ether solutions, the orientation of the molecules within the monolayer converted to that characteristic of pure alkanes. Alkane monolayers thus acted as templates for subsequent ether layers, but ether monolayers did not act as templates for alkane layers. 相似文献

Through rigorous control of preparation conditions, organized monolayers with a highly reproducible structure can be formed by solution self-assembly of octadecanethiol on GaAs (001) at ambient temperature. A combination of characterization probes reveal a structure with conformationally ordered alkyl chains tilted on average at 14 +/- 1 degrees from the surface normal with a 43 +/- 5 degrees twist, a highly oleophobic and hydrophobic ambient surface, and direct S-GaAs attachment. Analysis of the tilt angle and film thickness data shows a significant mismatch of the average adsorbate molecule spacings with the spacings of an intrinsic GaAs(001) surface lattice. The monolayers are stable up to approximately 100 degrees C and exhibit an overall thermal stability which is lower than that of the same monolayers on Au[111] surfaces. A two-step solution assembly process is observed: rapid adsorption of molecules over the first several hours to form disordered structures with molecules lying close to the substrate surface, followed by a slow densification and asymptotic approach to final ordering. This process, while similar to the assembly of alkanethiols on Au[111], is nearly 2 orders of magnitude slower. Finally, despite differences in assembly rates and the thermal stability, exchange experiments with isotopically tagged molecules show that the octadecanethiol on GaAs(001) monolayers undergo exchange with solute thiol molecules at roughly the same rate as the corresponding exchanges of the same monolayers on Au[111]. 相似文献

We have concurrently studied the surface pressure (pi) versus area (A) isotherms and microscopic surface morphological features of Langmuir monolayers of diethylene glycol mono-n-octadecyl ether (C18E2) by film balance and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) over a wide range of temperature. At temperatures < or =10 degrees C, the monolayers exist in the form of condensed phase even just after the evaporation of the spreading solvent, suggesting that the melting point of the condensed phase is above this temperature. At > or =15 degrees C, the monolayers can exist as gas (G), liquid expanded (LE), and liquid condensed (LC) phases and undergo a pressure-induced first-order phase transition between LE and LC phases showing a sharp cusp point followed by a plateau region in the pi-A isotherms. A variety of 2-D structures, depending on the subphase temperature, are observed by BAM just after the appearance of the cusp point. It is interesting to note here that the domains attain increasingly large and compact shape as the subphase temperature increases and finally give faceted structures with sharp edges and corners at > or =30 degrees C. The BAM observations were coupled with polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) to gain better understanding regarding the conformational order and subcell packing of the molecules. The constancy of the methylene stretching modes over the studied temperature range suggests that the hydrocarbon chains do not undergo any conformational changes upon compression of the monolayer. However, the full width at half-maximum (fwhm) values of the asymmetric methylene stretching mode (nu(as)(CH(2))) are found to respond differently with changes in temperature. It is concluded that even though the trans/gauche ratio of the hydrocarbon chains remains virtually constant, the LE-LC phase transition upon compression of the monolayer is accompanied by a loss of the rotational freedom of the molecules. 相似文献

Scanning tunneling microscopy has been used to determine the molecular ordering in stable, ordered monolayers formed from long-chain normal and substituted alkanes in solution on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surfaces. Monolayers were initially formed using an overlying solution of either a symmetrical dialkylthioether or a symmetrical dialkylether. Initially pure thioether solutions were then changed to nearly pure solutions of the identical chain-length ether, and vice versa. The direct application of a pure solution of long-chain symmetrical ethers onto graphite produced a lamellate monolayer within which the individual molecular axes were oriented at an angle of approximately 65 degrees to the lamellar axes. In contrast, a pure solution of long-chain symmetrical thioethers on graphite produced a monolayer within which the molecular axes were oriented perpendicular to the lamellar axes. When ethers were gradually added to solutions overlying pure thioether monolayers, the ethers substituted into the existing monolayer structure. Thus, the ether molecules could be forced to orient in the perpendicular thioether-like manner through the use of a thioether template monolayer. Continued addition of ethers to the solution ultimately produced a nearly pure ether monolayer that retained the orientation of the thioether monolayer template. However, a monolayer of thioether molecules formed by gradual substitution into an ether monolayer did not retain the 65 degrees orientation typical of dialkylethers, but exhibited the 90 degrees orientation typical of dialkylthioether monolayers. The thioethers and ethers were easily distinguished in images of mixed monolayers, allowing both an analysis of the distribution of the molecules within the mixed monolayers and a comparison of the monolayer compositions with those of the overlying solutions. Substitution of molecules into the template monolayer did not proceed randomly; instead, a molecule within a monolayer was more likely to be replaced by a molecule in the overlying solution if it was located next to a molecule that had already been replaced. 相似文献

Vertical emulsion films with particle monolayers at their surfaces have been studied by direct microscope observations. The effects of particle wettability and surface coverage on the structure and stability of water films in octane and octane films in water have been investigated. Monodisperse silica particles (3 microm in diameter) hydrophobized to different extents have been used. It is found that the structure and stability of emulsion films strongly depend on the film type (water-in-oil or oil-in-water), the particle contact angle, the interactions between particles from the same and the opposite monolayer, and the monolayer density. Stable films are observed only when the particle wettability fulfills the condition for stable particle bridges--in agreement with the concept that hydrophilic particles can give stable oil-in-water emulsions, whereas hydrophobic ones give water-in-oil emulsions. In the case of water films with dilute disordered monolayers at their surfaces, the hydrophilic particles are expelled from the film center toward its periphery, giving a dimple surrounded by a ring of particles bridging the film surfaces. In contrast, the thinning of octane films with dilute ordered monolayers at their surfaces finally leads to the spontaneous formation of a dense crystalline monolayer of hydrophobic particles bridging both surfaces at the center of the film. The behaviors of water and octane films with dense close-packed particle monolayers at their surfaces are very similar. In both cases, a transition from bilayer to bridging monolayer is observed at rather low capillary pressures. The implications of the above finding for particle stabilized emulsions are discussed. 相似文献

The nonlinear susceptibility tensor, chi(2), for second harmonic generation (SHG) by a monolayer of the cyanobiphenyl derivative 4-n-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) at the air/water interface has been measured with the fundamental frequency variant Planck's over 2piomega=1.55 eV (lambda=800 nm). The contribution of the water subphase was estimated by measuring the magnitudes and relative phases of the nonlinear susceptibilities of the bare and monolayer-covered water surfaces. All nonzero elements of chi(2) are placed on an absolute scale by comparison with SHG in reflection from a z-cut quartz crystal. The experimental measurements for the 8CB monolayer are compared with computed susceptibilities derived by using standard time-dependent perturbation theory in conjunction with a semiempirical electronic structure model. Good agreement has been found between experimental and computational results when the average tilt angle of the cyanobiphenyl chromophore of 8CB is in the range 60-70 degrees relative to the surface normal. A critique is given of an alternative, simplified measurement procedure of the tilt angle in which only the dominant element of the molecular hyperpolarizability tensor is considered. It is shown that the simplified procedure is invalid for 8CB monolayers when the tilt angle is greater than approximately 70 degrees. 相似文献

The structures of self-assembled monolayers of dioctadecyl selenide (CH3(CH2)17)2Se and dioctadecyl telluride (CH3(CH2)17)2Te, as well as dioctadecyl ether (CH3(CH2)17)2O and dioctadecyl sulfide (CH3(CH2)17)2S, on graphite at the liquid-solid interface were systematically investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Both dioctadecyl selenide and telluride formed monolayer structures in which the tilt angle between the molecular axis of the alkyl chain and the lamellae axis was 90 degrees , while dioctadecyl ether assembled with a tilt angle of 60 degrees . Dioctadecyl sulfide was found to make two different self-assembled structures having tilt angles of 60 and 90 degrees . When selenide was embedded in ether compounds in mixed self-assembled monolayers, the alkyl chains of the selenide became blurred, implying that the alkyl chains in the monolayers were unstable. This is in contrast with the structure of co-adsorbed monolayers of the ether and sulfide compounds, where the images of all alkyl chains had high spatial resolution. For the co-adsorbed monolayers, the image contrast of chalcogen atoms was normalized compared with that of alkyl chains of the ether compound in the same image frame. The normalized image contrast was found to be independent of the measurement conditions involving tip shapes, having the following trend, Te>Se>S>C>O. The difference in the normalized image contrast among chalcogen atoms are discussed based on fundamental parameters like polarizability and atomic radii. 相似文献

Bilayer and trilayer crystalline formation by collapsing behenic acid monolayers at gas/aqueous interfaces 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
X-ray reflectivities and grazing incidence X-ray diffractions of behenic acid (BA) monolayers compressed to the collapse region reveal that the resulting structures are reproducible and exhibit a high degree of order. The structures of the collapsed monolayers depend on the subphase solution. On pure water, the collapsed monolayer forms a stable crystalline trilayer structure. For monolayers spread on Ca2+ solutions, we find that an inverted bilayer structure is formed; that is, stretched BA-Ca-BA (calcium dibehenate, with calcium ions bridging the polar headgroups) forms a monolayer with the hydrophobic tails in contact with the water surface. 相似文献

The two-dimensional (2D) phases of fatty-acid monolayers (hexadecanoic, octadecanoic, eicosanoic, and docosanoic acids) have been studied at the interface of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) and water. When observed between crossed polarizers, the LC responds to monolayer structure owing to mesoscopic alignment of the LC by the adsorbed molecules. Similar to Langmuir monolayers at the air/water interface, the adsorbed monolayer at the nematic/water interface displays distinct thermodynamic phases. Observed are a 2D gas, isotropic liquid, and two condensed mesophases, each with a characteristic anchoring of the LC zenithal tilt and azimuth. By varying the monolayer temperature and surface concentration we observe reversible first-order phase transitions from vapor to liquid and from liquid to condensed. A temperature-dependent transition between two condensed phases appears to be a reversible swiveling transition in the tilt azimuth of the monolayer. Similar to monolayers at the air/water interface, the temperature of the gas/liquid/condensed triple-point temperature increased by about 10 degrees C for a two methylene group increase in chain length. However, the absolute value of the triple-point temperatures are depressed by about 40 degrees C compared to those of analogous monolayers at the air/water interface. We also observe a direct influence by the LC layer on the mesoscopic and macroscopic structure of the monolayer by analyzing the shapes and internal textures of gas domains in coexistence with a 2D liquid. An effective anisotropic line tension arises from elastic forces owing to deformation of the nematic director across phase boundaries. This results in the deformation of the domain from circular to elongated, with a distinct singularity. The LC elastic energy also gives rise to transition zones displaying mesoscopic realignment of the director tilt or azimuth between adjacent regions with a sudden change in anchoring. 相似文献

Self-assembly of amphiphilic hexapyridinium cations at the air/water interface and on HOPG surfaces.

Mono- and multilayers of a novel amphiphilic hexapyridinium cation with six eicosyl chains (3) are spread at the air/water interface as well as on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). On water, the monolayer of 3 is investigated by recording surface pressure/area and surface potential/area isotherms, and by Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). Self-organized tubular micelles with an internal edge-on orientation of molecules form at the air/water interface at low surface pressure whereas multilayers are present at high surface pressure, after a phase transition. Packing motifs suggesting a tubular arrangement of the constituting molecules were gleaned from atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigations of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers being transferred on HOPG at different surface pressures. These LB film structures are compared to the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 3 formed via adsorption from a supersaturated solution, which is studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). On HOPG the SAM of 3 consists of nanorods with a highly ordered edge-on packing of the aromatic rings and an arrangement of alkyl chains which resembles the packing of molecules at the air/water interface at low surface pressure. Additional details of the molecular packing were gleaned from single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the hexapyridinium model compound 2b, which possesses methyl instead of eicosyl residues. 相似文献

UV-vis reflection spectroscopy has been used for proving in situ the organization of pure viologen and hybrid viologen tetracyanoquinodimethanide monolayers at the air-water interface. Other more classical measurements concerning Langmuir monolayers, including surface pressure-area and surface potential-area isotherms, are also provided. The organization of the viologen in the Langmuir monolayer was investigated upon the different states of compression, and the tilt angle of the viologen moieties with respect to the water surface was determined. A gradual transition of the viologen molecules from a flat orientation in the gas phase to a more tilted position with respect to the water surface in the condensed phases occurs. The addition of a tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) salt in the subphase leads to the penetration of TCNQ anions into the positively charged viologen monolayer forming a hybrid viologen tetracyanoquinodimethanide film where a charge-transfer interaction between the two moieties is observed. From a quantitative analysis of the reflection spectra, an organization model of these hybrid monolayers at the air-water interface is proposed, suggesting a parallel arrangement of viologen and TCNQ units with a 1:2 stoichiometry. 相似文献

Alkylsiloxane and perfluoroalkylsiloxane monolayers are prepared on siliceous surfaces using the techniques of Langmuir-Blodgett deposition and solid-liquid chemical adsorption. Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions provide two-dimensional siloxane networks at the liquid-vapor interface, which can be compressed to mean molecular areas of approximately 22 and approximately 32 A(2) for pendent hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon chains, respectively. Subsequent Langmuir-Blodgett transfer onto glass substrates at moderate surface pressures leads to compact monolayers for single-component precursors, while mixed alkyl- and perfluoroalkylsilanes produce nonhomogeneous films characterized by transfer ratios greater than unity. As an alternate monolayer preparation technique, silane polymerization was performed directly on siliceous surfaces via a chemical adsorption mechanism. XPS analysis of a chemically adsorbed 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecylsiloxane film confirms a single adsorbed monolayer thickness in which the pendent fluoroalkyl chains align nonperpendicularly with respect to the surface. The surface free energy was determined to be 11.4 dyn cm(-1) based on static contact angle measurements. AFM imaging shows the presence of surface defects due to oligomer deposition during the drying process. The use of solubilized trichloro-based silane coupling agents under anhydrous conditions is shown to produce surfaces with a minimal number of surface defects. The presence of undissolved silane material in the bulk solution significantly increases the number of surface defects. 相似文献

Tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) is a promising material for the realization of biological interfaces because of its high dielectric constant, its high chemical stability, and its excellent passivating properties. Nevertheless, the deposition of highly organized silane SAMs to realize well-defined and tailored Ta2O5-based (bio)interfaces, has not been studied in great detail as of yet. In this work, we have investigated the formation of a highly ordered, dense monolayer of trichlorosilanes on Ta2O5 surfaces. Specifically, two different cleaning procedures for Ta2O5 were compared and (n-decyl)trichlorosilane (DTS) was used to study the effect of both cleaning methods on the silanization of Ta2O5. Both types of cleaning allowed the formation of complete and crystalline DTS monolayers on Ta2O5, in contrast with the incomplete, disordered silane layer assembled on uncleaned Ta2O5. The deposited self-assembled monolayers were studied by means of contact angle goniometry, Brewster angle FTIR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and ellipsometry. Infrared analysis exhibited a highly ordered DTS silane film on Ta2O5 and indicated a larger tilt angle of the alkyl chains on this substrate by comparison to DTS on SiO2. Furthermore, with use of ellipsometry and XPS, the silane film thickness on Ta2O5 was determined to be substantially smaller than that reported in the literature for DTS on SiO2, supporting the observations of an increased tilt angle (approximately 45 degrees ) on Ta2O5 than on SiO2 (approximately 10 degrees ). By means of cyclic voltammetry, the formation of a dense, essentially pinhole-free, silane film was observed on the cleaned samples. In conclusion, the fully characterized and optimized procedure for the silanization of Ta2O5 surfaces with trichlorosilanes will allow the formation of well-defined, reproducible, and controllable chemical interfaces on Ta2O5. 相似文献
