Long n-Alkane Adlayers as Templates for Tailoring Supramolecular Self-Assemblies on Surfaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
In this paper we report the heteroepitaxial growth and the structural evolution of hexakis-dodecyl-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC-C12) adsorbed on a template monolayer (n-C50H102). STM measurements at the liquid/solid interface made it possible to follow in real time the early stage of deposition of the HBC-C12 molecules. Additionally, molecule manipulations were realized using the tip of the STM. Our measurements give direct evidence of two successive phase transitions occurring in the upper HBC monolayer weakly bonded to the underlying template layer.
