Book excerpt: Exposure of evaporated gold films supported on silicon wafers to solutions of dialkyl sulfides (R(CH2)m-S-(CH2)n-R'; R and R'=CH3 or CO2H) or alkyl thiols (R(CH2)nSH, R=CO2H or CH3) in methanol or ethanol results in rapid formation of a monolayer of the organosulfer compound adsorbed onto the gold. The resulting films have been characterized using a number of techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared spectroscopy (IRS), ellipsometry, and wetting. These self-assembled, supported organic monolayer films are systems that can be used to study problems in the physical-organic chemistry and materials science of organic surfaces, especially the relation between the molecular-level structure of the film constituents and the macroscopic properties of the assembled monolayers. Keywords: Thin film, Monolayer, Surface spectroscopy, electronic materials.
