The fast and continous development of modern information technology has reached extreme dimensions of density and performance. To enhance the properties of classical silicon based semiconductor technologies, new concepts and materials become increasingly important . One promising technology is the use of organic electronics starting from bulk property-based organic light-emmission and cheap, printable electronics on fl exible substrates . Upon further development, organic electronics have the potential to be used in highly ordered organic thin fi lms and new quantum effect based circuits, employing the properties of single molecules . In this thesis self-assembly as a nanoscale integration method and the resulting structural properties of monolayers are studied for alkanethiols and ferrocenylalkanethiols on gold and for carboxylates on copper. The structural properties of these monolayers have been studied with molecular resolution by scanning tunneling microscopy, gaining new insights into molecular self-assembly . Especially mixed systems of alkanethiols and the electroactive ferrocenylalkanethiols have been studied in detail, achieving a better understanding of the layer formation and a thorough characterization of the electronic behaviour of embedded ferrocenylalkanethiols. |
