We report results from molecular dynamics simulations of water under confinement and at ambient conditions that predict a first-order freezing transition from a monolayer of liquid water to a monolayer of ice induced by increasing the distance between the confining parallel plates. Since a slab geometry is incompatible with a tetrahedral arrangement of

Patterning of self-assembled monolayers (SAMS) [PDF]
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) has recently received much attention because of their wide range in applications such as layers in biosensors, electronic active layers or interlayers in organic electronic devices like organic light emitting diodes ...

Dewetting of a Solid Monolayer [PDF]
We report on the dewetting of a monolayer on a solid substrate, where mass transport occurs via surface diffusion. For a wide range of parameters, a labyrinthine pattern of bilayer islands is formed. An irreversible regime and a thermodynamic regime are identified. In both regimes, the velocity of a dewetting front, the wavelength of the bilayer island

Calixarene-based langmuir monolayers : from crystallization templates to metal organic networks [PDF]
Molecular self-assembly plays a pivotal role in biological processes and living organisms can be considered as the result of the self-assembly of discrete molecular building blocks into sophisticated functional structures.

Development of a Self-assembly Technique for Drug-Delivering Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Ti-Based Implants [PDF]
PhD 2010 QMTo facilitate the long term osteointegration of Ti implants of various forms, methods aiming to facilitate hydroxyapatite deposition and enhance its adhesion to the Ti surfaces have to be developed.

Nanometer scale friction and wear on self-assembled monolayers investigated by atomic force microscopy [PDF]
Nanometer scale tribology investigates the phenomena of adhesion, friction and wear at the molecular level. It is driven by a basic research interest to unveil the fundamental nature of the processes responsible for energy dissipation in friction and the

Electron-beam patterned self-assembled monolayers as templates for Cu electrodeposition and lift-off [PDF]
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 4'-methylbiphenyl-4-thiol (MBP0) adsorbed on polycrystalline gold substrates served as templates to control electrochemical deposition of Cu structures from acidic solution, and enabled the subsequent lift-off of the ...

The interface structure of n-alkylthiolate self-assembled monolayers on coinage metal surfaces [PDF]
The current state of understanding of the structure of the metal/thiolate interface of n-alkylthiolate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Cu(111), Ag(111) and Au(111) is reviewed. On Cu(111) and Ag(111) there is now clear evidence that adsorbate-induced
