Odd-Even Effect in Self Assembly and Phase Transition of Alkanethiols Monolayers (SAMs) on Au (111) Surfaces

Ramin L., Jabbarzadeh A., The University of Sydney, AU

Molecular dynamic simulations were conducted to predict the structural properties of n-alkanethiols CH3(CH2)n-1SH (n=4-22) self assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au (111) surfaces. We studied the effects of chain length on the structural properties, including orientation [...]
