The structures of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) and 4-mercaptopyridine (4-MP) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are studied by quantum mechanics in order to explain the force ...

Chemical force microscopy (CFM) was used to measure the adhesion force between an Au-coated Si3N4 tip functionalized with OH groups and a silicon substrate functionalized with NH2 groups. The curve of the adhesion force ...

Chemical force microscopy (CFM) was used to measure the adhesion force between NH2-terminated probe tip and gold substrate modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP). The curve of adhesion ...
