| We have used microcontact printing to pattern self assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au{111} using a variety of molecules with different terminal groups and internal functionalities. The resulting patterned films were monitored over time with scanning tunneling and lateral force microscopies to examine the degree of order of the components and the overall pattern resolution. By varying the molecules used for the printed and backfilled regions of the SAM, we have explored the effect of intermolecular interactions on pattern lifetimes. Pattern stability is enhanced in films that have larger interactions between molecules in one component of the SAM. |
