文摘

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is applied to study organicmonolayers, physisorbed at the liquid-graphite interface. Due tothe very local nature of the probing, the structure of these adlayershas been imaged with very high detail. The high resolution allowedus to investigate the effect of molecular chirality on the monolayerformation and provided a unique way to study chemical reactionsat the liquid-graphite interface. Making use of a fast scanningmode, dynamic processes in these adlayers have been visualized.
