Chiral induction in self-assembled monolayers has garnered considerable attention in the recent past, not only due to its importance in chiral resolution and enantioselective heterogeneous catalysis but also because of its relevance to the origin of homochirality in life. Here, we demonstrate the emergence of homochirality in a supramolecular low-density network formed by achiral molecules at the interface of a chiral solvent and an atomically-flat achiral substrate. We focus on the impact of structure and functionality of the adsorbate and the chiral solvent on the chiral induction efficiency in self-assembled physisorbed monolayers, as revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy. Different induction mechanisms are proposed and evaluated, with the assistance of advanced molecular modeling simulations.

Sepiolite (Sep)–styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) nanocomposites were prepared by using nano-sized sepiolite (NS-SepS9) fibers, obtained by applying a controlled surface acid treatment, also in the presence of a silane coupling agent (NS-SilSepS9). Sep/SBR nanocomposites were used as a model to study the influence of the modified sepiolite filler on the formation of immobilized rubber at the clay-rubber interface and the role of a self-assembled nanostructure in tuning the mechanical properties. A detailed investigation at the macro and nanoscale of such self-assembled structures was performed in terms of the organization and networking of Sep fibers in the rubber matrix, the nature of both the filler–filler and filler–rubber interactions, and the impact of these features on the reduced dissipative phenomena. An integrated multi-technique approach, based on dynamic measurements, nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, and morphological investigation, assessed that the macroscopic mechanical properties of clay nanocomposites can be remarkably enhanced by self-assembled filler structures, whose formation can be favored by manipulating the chemistry at the hybrid interfaces between the clay particles and the polymers.

Self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots structures with low temperature and high temperature cap layers are grown by meta-organic chemical vapor deposition. The effects of Indium composition of high temperature InGaAs cap layer on the structural and optical properties of quantum dots are investigated by the atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence. Emission peak wavelengths shift from 1218 nm to 1321 nm when the Indium composition of high temperature InGaAs cap layer increase form 0 to 0.17.

Metal deposition on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with different terminal organic functional groups is a growing area of research and the metal-organic interface has been extensively studied in the past two decades. Apart from impacting existing technologies, it may have a profound impact on the emerging future technologies such as molecular electronics. The morphology of the deposited metals is strongly influenced by the nature of the chemical interactions occurring at the interface of the organic functional group (OFG) of the SAM and the deposited metal. Our interest for such studies stems from different perspective, as we are interested in determining the impact of the interface on the morphology and hence the magnetic properties of the deposited magnetic materials. We have sputtered a magnetic material, permalloy (Ni79Fe21), on self-assembled monolayers of polar and nonpolar molecules, and have observed contrasting magnetic behaviors of permalloy on these surfaces. We have observed the formation of uniform film on polar regions and cluster are formed on nonpolar regions. Further investigations reveal that the cluster formation gives rise to superparamagnetism, while the uniform film shows a usual ferromagnetic behavior. The observed contrast in morphology and magnetism of Py is attributed to different growth mechanisms arising from difference in polarity of the SAM surfaces.

We present a study of the surface effects and optical properties of the self-assembled nanostructures comprised of vertically aligned 5 nm-diameter Al nanowires embedded in an amorphous Si matrix (a-Si:Al). The controlled (partial) removal of Al nanowires in a selective etching process yielded nanoporous a-Si media with a variable effective surface area. Different spectroscopy techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis spectrophotometry and photoluminescence (PL), have been combined to investigate the impact of such nanostructuring on optical absorption and emission properties. We also examine long-term exposure to air ambient and show that increasing level of surface oxidation determines the oxide defect-related nature of the dominant PL emission from the nanoporous structures. The role of bulk, nanosize and surface effects in optical properties has been separated and quantified, providing a better understanding of the potential of such nanoporous a-Si:Al structures for future device developments.
