| Zusammenfassung: | Adsorption, stability, and organization kinetics of organophosphonic acids on single-crystalline alumina surfaces were investigated by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based imaging, nanoshaving, and nanografting. AFM friction and phase imaging have shown that chemical etching and subsequent annealing led to heterogeneities on single-crystalline surfaces with (0001) orientation. Self-assembly and stability of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) were shown to be strictly dependent upon the observed heterogeneities of the surface termination, where it was locally shown that ODPA can loosely or strongly bind on different terminations of the crystal surface. Organization kinetics of ODPA was monitored with nanografting on (0001) surfaces. Supported by measurements of surface wettability and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), it was demonstrated that the lack of organization within the protective adsorbed hexylphosphonic acid (HPA) monolayer on alumina surfaces facilitated the reduced confinement effect during nanografting, such that kinetics information on the organization process of ODPA could be obtained |
