p-iodo-phenyl octadecyl ether (I-POE)와 p-iodo-phenyl docosyl ether (I-PDE)의 분자의 흑연표면에서의 자기조립과 이 두 분자로 이루어진 혼합물의 자기조립을 주사 터널링 현미경을 이용하여 연구하였다. 각 분자 시스템은 흑연 표면에서 head-to-tail 배향의 안정된 단분자막으로 자기조립한다. 혼합물 시스템에서는 I-POE와 I-PDE 분자들은 표면에서 섞이지 않고, 고립된 단분자막 도메인을 형성한다. 특히 I-POE 분자는 흑연 표면에서 단분자막 구조를 우선적으로 형성하는데 이는 알킬 사슬 길이와 작용기를 가진 헤드 그룹의 효과에 기인한다.

A ferredoxin adsorbed hetero self-assembled layer was fabricated on chemically modified Au substrate, 4-Aminothiophenol (4-ATP) was deposited onto Au substrate and then N-succinimidyl-3-[2-pyridyldithio] propionate (SPDP) was adsorbed on the 4-ATP layer, since SPDP was used as a bridging molecule for ferredoxin adsorption, Ferredoxin/SPDP/4-ATP structured hetero layer was constructed because of strong chemical binding of ferredoxin, SPDP, and 4-ATP, The surface of the ferredoxin-adsorbed SPDP/4-ATP layer was observed by scanning tunneling microscopy, The hetero film formation was verified by surface plasmon resonance measurement. The current flow and rectifying property based on the scanning tunneling spectroscopy I-V characteristics was achieved in the proposed hetero layer. Thus, the hetero layer structure of ferredoxin functioned as a molecular diode with rectifying property, The proposed molecular diode can be usefully applied for the development of molecular scale electronic devices.

We have studied a property change of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED)s due to a surface reformation of indium-tin-oxide(ITO) substrate. An ITO is widely used as a transparent electrode in light-emitting diodes, and the OLEDs device performance is sensitive to the surface properties of the ITO. The ITO surface reformation could reduce the Schottky barrier at the ITO/organic interface and increase the adhesion of the organic layer onto the electrode. We have studied the characteristics of OLEDs with a treatment by a wet processing of the ITO substrate. The self-assembled monolayer(SAM) was used for wet processing. The characteristics of OLEDs were improved by SAM treatment of an ITO in this work. The OLEDs with a structure of ITO/TPD(50nm)/$Alq_3$(70nm)/LiF(0.5nm)/Al(100nm) were fabricated, and the surface properties of ITO were investigated by using seneral characterization techniques. Self-assembled monolayer introduced at the anode/organic interface gave an improvement in turn-on voltage, luminance and external quantum efficiency compared to the device without the SAM layer. SAM-treatment time of the ITO substrate was made to be 0/10/15/20/25min. The current efficiency of the device with 15min. treated SAM layer was increased by 3 times and the external quantum efficiency by 2.6 times.

We investigated the carbon monoxide (CO) gas-sensing properties of nanostructured Al-doped zinc oxide thin films deposited on self-assembled Au nanodots (ZnO/Au thin films). The Al-doped ZnO thin film was deposited onto the structure by rf sputtering, resulting in a gas-sensing element comprising a ZnO-based active layer with an embedded Pt/Ti electrode covered by the self-assembled Au nanodots. Prior to the growth of the active ZnO layer, the Au nanodots were formed via annealing a thin Au layer with a thickness of 2 nm at a moderate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. It was found that the ZnO/Au nanostructured thin film gas sensors showed a high maximum sensitivity to CO gas at $250^{\circ}C$ and a low CO detection limit of 5 ppm in dry air. Furthermore, the ZnO/Au thin film CO gas sensors exhibited fast response and recovery behaviors. The observed excellent CO gas-sensing properties of the nanostructured ZnO/Au thin films can be ascribed to the Au nanodots, acting as both a nucleation layer for the formation of the ZnO nanostructure and a catalyst in the CO surface reaction. These results suggest that the ZnO thin films deposited on self-assembled Au nanodots are promising for practical high-performance CO gas sensors.

Decylthiocyanate (DTC) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) were prepared by solution and vapor phase deposition methods at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The formation and surface structure of DTC SAMs were examined using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). STM imaging revealed that DTC SAMs formed in 1 mM ethanol solution at $50^{\circ}C$ were composed of small ordered domains with lateral dimensions of a few nanometers and disordered phases, whereas DTC SAMs formed in the vapor phase at $50^{\circ}C$ contained two ordered phases: a closely packed c($4{\times}2$) superlattice and a striped phase with an interstripe spacing of 2.6 - 2.8 nm. It was also found that the ordered domain and vacancy island formation for DTC SAMs on Au(111) differs significantly from that of decanethiol SAMs, suggesting that adsorption mechanism is different from each other. From this study, it was confirmed that DTC SAMs with a high degree of structural order can be obtained by vapor phase deposition.

The structures of 1,n-alkanedithiol (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on a Au(111) substrate were investigated by electrochemical measurements and theoretical calculations. The results of the experimental techniques indicated that the dithiols, except n = 2, showed an upright molecular structure in the SAMs, in which alkanedithiols were bound to the Au surface via only one thiol functionality and the other one faced up to the air. The results also suggested that the formed dithiol SAMs were densely packed and highly oriented. Except ethanedithiol, which was thought to form a bilayer, the reductive desorption peak potentials of 1,n-alkanedithiol (n = 4, 6, 8, 10) SAMs were more negative than those of the corresponding monothiol ones in 0.1 M KOH solutions. This illustrates that the dithiol SAMs had higher stability than the corresponding monothiol ones. The major part of the high stability may be attributed to the van der Waals interaction among the sulfur atoms on top of the dithiol SAMs. The molecular modeling calculation showed that the structures of dithiol SAMs were similar to those of the corresponding monothiol SAMs and that all the dithiol SAMs, except ethanedithiol, were more stable than the corresponding monothiol SAMs. The calculated energy differences between dithiol and monothiol SAMs decreased with the increment of alkyl-chain length.

We investigated the interfacial properties of fluorocarbon self-assembled monolayers (FC-SAMs) with different alkyl chain lengths. It was found that the substrate characteristics were changed rapidly with the fabrication time and temperature of the SAM. FC-3SAM, which has the shortest alkyl chain in this study, showed a contact angle of $54.1^{\circ}$ when it was fabricated in an electric oven at $60^{\circ}C$ for the first minute. The FC-3SAM showed a contact angle of up to $76.9^{\circ}$ when it was fabricated in an electric oven at the same temperature condition for 180 minutes. FC-10SAM, which has the longest alkyl chain in this study, showed a contact angle of $64.7^{\circ}$ when it was fabricated at a temperature condition of $60^{\circ}C$ for 1 minute, and a contact angle of $98.7^{\circ}C$ at a temperature condition of $60^{\circ}C$ for 180 minutes. It was found that the FC-10SAM shows an increased contact angle and hydrophobic properties due to a well-aligned molecular structure resulting from a strong van der Waals force. In contrast, the FC-3SAM shows a small contact angle due to the intermolecular disorder resulting from a weak van der Waals force. The average roughness of FC-SAMs was investigated using AFM. The surface roughness of FC-SAMs, which verifies the results of contact angle, was confirmed. At a fabrication time of 120 minutes, the FC-10SAM showed an improvement in average roughness by 62% compared to that of FC-3SAM due to its good alignment.

페놀과 피리딘 간의 단일 수소결합을 이용하여 새로운 형태의 자기 집합된 원반형 액정을 제조하고 그 액정 특성을 조사하였다. 원반형 구조 설계를 위해 phloroglucinol을 중심부 분자로, 체계적으로 알킬사슬 길이를 변화시킨 trans-4-alkoxy-4'-stilbazole을 주변 물질로 사용하였다. 적외선 분광 분석을 통해 중심부 분자와 주변 물질 사이의 분자간 수소결합이 성공적으로 형성됨을 확인하였고, 또한 수소결합의 안정성이 분자 정렬에 의해 크게 영향을 받음을 확인하였다. 자기 집합된 원반형 액정 복합체는 원반형 메소겐 주위의 알킬 사슬 길이에 따라 다른 액정상들을 나타내었다. 긴 알킬사슬을 함유하는 액정 복합체의 경우 육방형 컬럼상이 나타났으며, 상대적으로 짧은 사슬을 갖는 다른 액정 복합체에서는 네마틱 컬럼상이 형성되었다. 이는 자기 집합된 원반형 액정 복합체의 액정상 구조가 원반형 핵 단위 주변의 알킬사슬 길이에 의해 크게 영향을 받음을 의미하였다.

바이오 분자의 고정 링커로 전기전도도가 높은 방향족 공액구조의 4-(2-(4-(acetylthio)phenyl)ethynyl)benzoic acid (APBA) 분자를 합성한 후, APBA 자기조립 단분자막을 제작하였다. 제작한 APBA 자기조립 단분자막의 구조를 분석하였고, 페로센으로 고정화시킨 APBA의 자기조립 단분자막의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 부탄티올 단분자막에 APBA를 삽입시켜 혼합 단분자막을 제조하여 XPS로 금 기판에 대한 혼합 단분자막의 수직 배향성을 조사하였다. 또한, APBA 혼합 시간에 따른 APBA와 부탄티올(BT) 혼합 단분자막에 페로센을 고정화하여 전기화학적 산화 환원 특성을 조사하였다. 혼합 단분자막의 전기화학적 활성은 혼합 시간의 증가에 따라 증가하였고, 부탄티올 단분자막 기판을 APBA 용액에 36 h 침지시켰을 때 가장 높은 페로센 분자의 산화 환원 전류값을 얻었다.

본 연구에서는 화학적 박리를 통해 흑연분말로부터 분리한 산화그래핀의 전기적특성을 개선시키기 위해 자가조립단층막 기술을 활용하였다. 반응물질로는 황산알루미늄(Al₂(SO₄)₃)을 적용하였으며, 시멘트를 기반으로 한 건설구조물의 자가센싱에 적용하기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 전기저항 측정결과 대조군인 표준공시체와 대비할 때 GO 및 Al-GO가 함유된 공시체에서 각각 10.2%, 15.9% 개선되어 도체로서의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다. 미세구조분석 결과 Al-GO의 첨가에 따라 Al(OH)₃ gel형성을 확인하였으며, 이로 인해 공시체의 밀도를 향상시켜 전류의 흐름을 원활하게 개선시킨 것으로 판단된다. 이는, 단순 구조물이 아닌 구조물 자체로서 활용성을 지닐 수 있음을 시사하며, 스마트 건설자재로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.
