R. Losch et al., STRUCTURAL STUDY OF POTENTIAL CONTROLLED DEPOSITED LANGMUIR-BLODGETT-FILMS ON METAL SUBSTRATES, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 346(1-3), 1993, pp. 128-130
A Langmuir-Blodgett-Film-Balance was modified, in order to obtain elec
trochemical potential control of metal substrates during film depositi
on. With this balance octadecylmercaptan (ODM) was brought onto gold s
ubstrates under different potentials. The mercaptan monolayer was inve
stigated by means of surface analytical techniques (XPS, ARXPS). Initi
al results concerning the potential dependence of the LB-layer are pre
sented.
