Figure 19.2 Self-similarity analysis for nanotextured silver surfaces prepared in different ways. The root mean square roughness inferred from atomic force microscopy is plotted versus measurement area. The various surfaces are 100 nm thick evaporated silver films (solid squares, red line)-, 5.2 nm thick evaporated silver films (open circles, green line) nanoparticle films assembled from colloid attachment to self-assembled monolayers (solid circles, blue line) films from deliberate precipitation of silver colloid (solid up-triangles, black line) Tollens reaction films (open down-triangles, orange line). Lines with slopes H = 1.0 and H = l.S representing two-dimensional and 1.5 dimensional surfaces respectively are...

The simulation studies of melting in adsorbed monolayers is still under way the melting mechanism of N2 in submonolayer films has been ascribed to the thermally activated formation of vacancies that form near the edges of a patch and migrate inward [39] and simulations of the normal modes of the commensurate monolayer solid [40] show an absence of very long wave-length vibrations parallel to the surface which is produced by the adsorption in the weak wells of the periodic gas-solid potential.

Fig. 16. Desorption flux of H2 and CO coadsorbed on titania-containing Ni (0 0.2 monolayer). Solid curves represent 10 L H2 adsorption at 140 K followed by (a) background, (b) 7, (c) 10, and (d) 10 L CO. Dashed lines correspond to desorption of a saturation layer of each gas adsorbed separately. L = one Langmuir exposure. (After Ref. 123.)...

The transition from the fluid phase to a registered monolayer solid is found by adsorption isotherm measurements [189] to be first order up to a temperature of about 82 K. Around this temperature the quasivertical risers become nonvertical and it is suggested that the order of the transition changes from first order to a continuous behavior near 82 K.

Beyond a compression to about 1.4 monolayers, evidence for a second-layer fluid on top of the incommensurate monolayer solid is found in the calorimetric study [112] (see the phase diagram. Fig. 49). A second-layer... 

In many experiments, the isosteric heat of adsorption (latent heat) is determined for adsorption into the 2D solid monolayer phase. This value denoted by Qi, can be assnmed to be constant over the coverage range of coexistence between a 2D solid and a 2D gas phase, and before any phase transition or compression of the monolayer solid phase takes place. At low coverage, where only a dilute phase (2D gas) is formed, the isosteric heat may increase or decrease with coverage depending on whether the lateral interactions between the adsorbed noble gas atoms are attractive or repnlsive.

Figure 2.3 Relationship between the number of H-bonds formed by each water molecule of the monolayer under the droplet with other neighboring water molecules in the same monolayer (solid squares), and the H-bonds formed by each water molecule of the monolayer under the droplet with the water molecules above the monolayer (solid red circles corresponding to the right axis), and charge value q. The sum of the two is represented by empty squares. The average number of H-bonds formed by each water molecule of the water monolayer outside the droplet is represented by black solid triangles (reprinted from ref 50, Copyright 2009 American Physical Society).

A monolayer solid of ionic liquid [E)mim][Cl] was found confined between graphite walls 0.7 nm apart. Flowever, it is unclear what occurs in a larger, less confining space. Thus, we also studied the microstructure of the IL bilayer by varying the graphite wall distance. " A liquid-to-solid phase transition of the [Dmim][Cl]] bilayer was also observed at 425 K in this confined system. 

In the lateral radial distribution function, there is clear long-range ordering of the solid bilayer (/7=1.0nm) in both the cation-anion and anion-anion distributions. In the new solid bilayer, each cation is surrounded by the three nearest-neighbor anions, and each anion is encircled by the three nearest-neighbor cations. It is obvious that the bilayer solid has a different number of nearest neighbors than the monolayer solid, constituting a new solid phase for [Dmim][Cl].
