Imaging alkane layers at the liquid/graphite interface with the scanning tunneling microscope

McGonigal, G. C., Bernhardt, R. H., Thomson, D. J.·1990·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

We have directly imaged n-alkane layers adsorbed at the liquid/graphite interface using a scanning tunneling microscope. The layers possessed a high degree of two-dimensional ordering. The adsorbate was observed to enhance the tunneling current, and the atomic structure of the images was dominated by features associated with the substrate. These systems are excellent vehicles for studies concerning the imaging mechanism of adsorbed organic layers because of their stability and simplicity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
