In this paper, we report the self-assembly, electrical characterization, and surface modification of dithiolated phenylene-ethynylene oligomer monolayers on a Au(111) surface. The self-assembly was accomplished by thiol bonding the molecules from solution to a Au(111) surface. We have confirmed the formation of self-assembled monolayers by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and optical ellipsometry, and have studied the kinetics of film growth. We suggest that self-assembled phenylene ethynylene oligomers on Au(111) surfaces grow as thiols rather than as thiolates. Using low-temperature STM, we collected local current-voltage spectra showing negative differential resistance at 6 K.
在本文中,我们报告了二硫醇化亚苯基乙炔低聚物单层在Au(111)表面的自组装、电学表征及表面修饰。自组装是通过将溶液中的分子通过硫醇键合到Au(111)表面来实现的。我们通过扫描隧道显微镜(STM)和椭圆偏振光谱法证实了自组装单层的形成,并研究了膜生长的动力学。我们认为,Au(111)表面上的自组装亚苯基乙炔低聚物以硫醇形式而非硫醇盐形式生长。利用低温STM,我们收集了在6 K时显示负微分电阻的局部电流-电压谱。
