Growth and Properties

The properties of thin films generally differ from the values for the material in bulk form (see Formation techniques. In many cases, the growth and properties of thin films are affected by the properties of the underlying substrate material. The properties of the film can also be affected by the high surface-to-volume ratio of the film.

The ability to in situ characterize the growth and properties of organic thin Aims enables us to better understand the associated underlying mechanisms. Many techniques allow such studies. For films a few MLs thick the techniques should be sufficiently surface sensitive. In situ is too often confused with real-time techniques. Real-time clearly means that the physical or chemical phenomena are studied without interruption of the process. Indeed, this has to be done in situ during growth. However, some in situ techniques, because of the experimental geometry.

Because of the gaseous nature of many of the important primary and secondary pollutants, the emphasis in kinetic studies of atmospheric reactions historically has been on gas-phase systems. However, it is now clear that reactions that occur in the liquid phase and on the surfaces of solids and liquids play important roles in such problems as stratospheric ozone depletion (Chapters 12 and 13), acid rain, and fogs (Chapters 7 and 8) and in the growth and properties of aerosol particles (Chapter 9). We therefore briefly discuss reaction kinetics in solution in this section and heterogeneous kinetics in Section E.

This essay on the lanthanides has repeatedly drawn attention to a problem of immense importance in both chemistry and biochemistry. The role of water in controlling the stability, the structure, and the lability of coordination compounds. In fact the emphasis extends from coordination compounds to the surfaces of solids47. The role of water is then bound to be extremely important not only in complex chemistry and catalysis but in the growth and properties of crystals and amorphous materials. We can illustrate the problems outside Ln(III) chemistry48,49. ... 

Prevention of Localized Corrosion. Available data on the various physical and chemical aspects of passivity, including the composition, thickness, structure, growth, and properties of passive layers should be used in the studies of localized corrosion. A good understanding of the surface reactions involved in the formation and composition of passive films, passivation/repassivation, is necessary for the development of highly...
