- Abstract
- Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) were used to examine the structural transitions and interface dynamics of octanethiol (OT) self-assembled monolayers ling at an elevated temperature. We found that the structural (SAMs) caused by long-term storage or annea. transitions of OT SAMs from the c(4 x 2) superlattice to the (6 x root 3) superlattice resulting from long-term storage were caused by both the dynamic movement of the adsorbed sulfur atoms on several adsorption sites of the Au(111) surface and the change of molecular orientation in the ordered layer. Moreover, it was found that the chemical structure of the sulfur headgroups does not change from monomer to dimer by the temporal change of SAMs at room temperature. Contrary to the results of the long-term-stored SAMs, it was found that the annealing process did not modify either the interfacial or chemical structures of the sulfur headgroups or the two-dimensional c(4 x 2) domain structure. Our results will be very useful for a better understanding of the interface dynamics and stability of sulfur atoms in alkanethiol SAMs on Au(111) surfaces.
