Size-Dependent Surface Chemistry at Nanometer Scale

化学系的分析和表面化学(ASC)计划将支持加州大学戴维斯分校刘刚教授的研究计划。刘教授和她的学生将研究纳米接枝的机制和动力学特性，并利用这些发现来调节表面反应的结果和表面自组装单分子层(SAM)的形成。在本研究过程中发展起来的实验方法，如先进的纳米制备方法、分子分辨率成像和混合自组装单分子膜的结构表征和鉴定，将有利于纳米技术和自组装膜化学和生物化学领域的研究。该研究将为纳米分辨率化学成像前沿领域的研究生和博士后实习生提供绝佳的教育培训机会。

The Analytical and Surface Chemistry (ASC) program of the Division of Chemistry will support the research program of Prof. Gang Yu Liu of the University of California Davis. Prof. Liu and her students will study the mechanism and kinetic properties of nanografting and use these finding to regulate the outcome of surface reactions and self assembled monolayers (SAMs) formation on surfaces. The experimental approaches developed during the course of this study such as advanced nanofabrication methodology, molecular resolution imaging and structural characterization and qualifications of mixed self assembled monolayers will benefit the fields of nanotechnology and SAMs-based chemistry and biochemistry. The study will provide excellent educational training opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees in the cutting edge area of nano-scale resolution chemical imaging.
