As. Duwez et al., PROBING THE SURFACE MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE IN THE UPS SPECTRA OF OCTADECANETHIOL AND 1-CYCLOHEXYL-12-DODECANETHIOL SELF-ASSEMBLED ON GOLD, Journal of electron spectroscopy and related phenomena, 81(1), 1996, pp. 55-61
UPS studies of monolayers of octadecanethiol and 1-cyclohexyl-12-dodec
anethiol chains self-assembled on gold evidence the fact that molecula
r structure fingerprints can be detected in the outer valence region.
The results provide incentive for a more systematic use of UPS toward
this goal in conjunction with other surface sensitive techniques and q
uantum chemistry calculations.
