Abstract

Selective self-assembly properties of the thio and methoxy functional groups are utilized tomicropattern (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane molecules on a gold coated glass targetstarting with a nano-structured silicon grating template. Further modifications of thetarget surface are introduced by self-assembled monolayers of mercaptoacetic acid sodiumsalt molecules. The anisotropy in reflection properties is observed from the spectroscopicellipsometric measurements in relation to the orientation of the plane of incidence.Conformations of spun adenine base and zinc oxide nanocomposite films on the goldsubstrate are found to depend upon its surface modifications due to the self-assembledmonolayer.
