How water wets and self-hydrophilizes nanopatterns of physisorbed hydrocarbons
Diego Diaz, Ole Nickel, Nicolas Moraga +8
Weakly bound, physisorbed hydrocarbons could in principle provide a similar water-repellency as obtained by chemisorption of strongly bound hydrophobic molecules at surfaces. Here…

Nanoscale Observation of Alkane Delayering
M. Bai, K. Knorr, M. J. Simpson +6
Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy and synchrotron x-ray scattering measurements on dotriacontane (n-C32H66 or C32) films adsorbed on SiO2-coated Si(100) wafers reveal a narrow tem…
