Electrochemical Addressing of the Optical Properties of a Monolayer on a Transparent Conducting Substrate

摘要

Thin-film chemistry and surface engineering,in particular the generation of new molecular electronic and photonic materials,are attracting considerable interest.The development of a fundamental understanding of molecular interactions,orientation,and function is essential for the formation of device-quality organic mono-and multilayers.Direct control of thin-film properties might lead to a wide range of applications in molecular-based optics and electronics.For instance,low-voltage redox-active molecules may be potentially useful for the design of new monolayers for charge-storage memory devices.
