Abstract

The preparation of large scale monolayers of dodecanethiol coated nanoparticles on modified silicon substrates for use in storage media is reported. The formation of nanoparticle monolayers was accomplished by vertically pulling various modified silicon substrates at controlled speeds from nanoparticle solutions. The silicon substrates investigated had silanol and hydrogen terminated surfaces, surfaces chemically modified by (CH3) 3SiNHSi(CH3) 3 and (CH3O) 3Si(CH2)2(CF2) 7CF3 and a silicon substrate coated with amorphous carbon. All of these substrates have different surface polarities and a wide variation in monolayer coverage was obtained. The effect of the substrate pulling speed and solvent were also investigated.
