R. Losch et al., STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF MERCAPTAN-LB FILMS PREPARED UNDER ELECTROCHEMICAL POTENTIAL CONTROL, Electrochimica acta, 39(8-9), 1994, pp. 1215-1221
Langmuir-Blodgett films of octadecylmercaptan (ODM) were formed on an
aqueous subphase and transferred to gold substrates under electrochemi
cal potential control by means of a modified LB Balance. The monolayer
s were investigated by surface analytical techniques (XPS, ARXPS, AES,
IRRAS) and by electrochemical methods (cyclic voltammetry, impedance
spectroscopy). The results are compared to self-assembled films (SA) o
f ODM on gold.
