Structure and Dynamics in Surface Reactions

分析和表面化学（ASC）计划支持普林斯顿大学化学系Steven Bernasek教授的研究计划。Bernasek教授和他的学生将解决结构和反应性的基本问题，以及表征的有机单层和固体表面上吸附的薄膜。他们将研究有机单层结构的形成，特别强调手性单层，肽低聚物单层和纳米图案化表面的形成，主要使用扫描隧道显微镜（STM）。该项目将提供有关有机单层和薄膜的结构和反应性的基本信息，这可能有助于回答有关生命系统中手性发展的问题。从这项工作的信息也可能是有用的手性分离介质和手性催化剂的设计。该项目将为多个行业非常感兴趣的重要研究领域的学生提供良好的培训机会。

The Analytical and Surface Chemistry (ASC) program supports the research program of Prof. Steven Bernasek of the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University. Prof. Bernasek and his students will address fundamental questions of structure and reactivity in well characterized organic monolayers and thin films adsorbed on solid surfaces. They will examine the formation of organic monolayer structures, with particular emphasis on the formation of chiral monolayers, peptide oligomer monolayers, and nanopatterned surfaces, primarily using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). The project will provide fundamental information about the structure and reactivity of organic monolayers and thin films, which may help to answer questions about the development of chirality in living systems. Information from this work may be also useful in the design of chiral separations media and chirally active catalysts. The project will provide excellent training opportunities to students in an important research field of great interest to multiple industries.
