A kinetic model of the formation of organic monolayers on hydrogen-terminated silicon by hydrosilation of alkenes

Article Abstract:

A kinetic model for the formation of organic monolayers based on a previously suggested free radical chain mechanism for the reaction of unsaturated molecules with hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces was analyzed. A direct consequence of this mechanism is the nonexponential growth of the monolayer and it determines the rate at which the monolayer forms by addition of alkene molecules to form a track of molecules that constitute a self-avoiding random walk on the surface.

A deuterium labeling, FTIR, and ab initio investigation of the solution-phase thermal reactions of alcohols and alkenes with hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces

Article Abstract:

Research into the reactions of alcohols and alkenes with hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces is presented. It is possible to use molecular hydrosilanes containing Si-H2, Si-H and Si-HD as models for some properties of hydrogen-terminated and deuterated porous silicon and abraded silicon surfaces.

Discreteness of charge effects on the double layer structure at the metal/solid electrolyte interface

Article Abstract:

Issues concerning Monte Carlo simulations and analytical approximations for a primitive model of the metal/solid electrolyte interface are discussed. It is show that substantial differences arise as a result of the restriction of the mobile charges to discrete spatial positions in the solid.
