Crystallization of Adsorbed Polymer Monolayers
Abstract
We present atomic force microscopy results and corresponding computer simulations on crystallization of quasi-2D monolayers of polyetheleneoxid adsorbed onto bare silicon wafers. Fingerlike branched patterns with a characteristic width $w$ resulted from crystallization at temperatures ${T}_{c}$ below the melting point ${T}_{m}$. $w$ decreased exponentially as $({T}_{m}{\ensuremath{-}T}_{c})$ increased. The patterns are explained by a simple model considering the interplay of transport on the surface and the probability of attachment to the crystal.

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.
