Structure of Physically Adsorbed Layers

晶体衬底和吸附层之间的外延关系将被研究，即。适用于氧化镁和石墨解理表面的流体和固体单分子膜。采用的技术将是低能电子衍射(LEED)和原子力显微镜(AFM)。固体表面的物理吸附层为研究界面的存在如何影响界面材料的性质提供了最简单的模型系统之一。

The epitaxial relationships between a crystalline substrate and adsorbed layers will be studied, viz. for fluid and solid monolayers on cleaved surfaces of magnesium oxide and graphite. The techniques employed will be low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). % % % Physically-adsorbed layers on solid surfaces provide one of the simplest model systems to study how the presence of an interface affects the properties of materials at the interface.
