Electrical features of surface structure in polymer monolayers by SMM
Recent development in scanning probe microscope techniques has made it possible to investigate, not only microscopic surface topography, hut also physical and chemical properties on the nanometer-scale. We observed the surface potential distribution and molecular ordering in monolayers. The SMM surface potential image clearly shows the existence of micron-sized domains in the polymer monolayers with a good correspondence to the topographical features. This is a first step towards understanding electrical phenomena in organic and inorganic materials with SMM.
