Abstract
Chemisorbed monolayers of octylgermane (C 8H 17GeH 3) on gold have been formed by vapor deposition in ultrahigh vacuum. The monolayer has been characterized by X-ray photoelectron and reflection absorption infrared spectroscopies (XPS and RAIRS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). XPS data indicate the monolayer can be oxidized by exposure to ozone. STM images exhibit a complex pattern which can be modeled as strain-mediated spinodal decomposition.
