Recently, Melosh has obtained electrically stable LAJs as large as 9 mm2 by atomic deposition of a nanometer-thick passivating layer of aluminium oxide on top of self-assembled organic monolayers with hydrophilic terminal groups [158,159]. Obviously, interlayers based junctions limit electrical measurements only to organic SAMs less conductive than the protecting layer.

Different types of nanotubes built of self-assembled organic molecules have been discussed in Section 4.2.4. Inorganic nanotubes, for instance, built of vanadium oxide [53] are also known [54]. 

In addition to mesostructured metal oxide molecular sieves prepared through supramolecular assembly pathways, clays, carbon molecular sieves, porous polymers, sol-gel and imprinted materials, as well as self-assembled organic and other zeolite-like materials, have captured the attention of materials researchers around the globe. Clays, zeolites and sol-gel materials are still very popular because of their extensive and expanding applications in catalysis and separation science. Novel carbons and polymers of ordered porous structures have been synthesized. There are almost unlimited opportunities in the synthesis of new organic materials of desired structural and surface properties via self-assembly or imprinting procedures. 

The stepwise construction of self-assembled organic/inorganic multilayers based on multivalent supramolecular interactions between guest-functionalized dendrimers and nanoparticles and host-modified gold nanoparticles has been developed, yielding supramolecular LbL assembly (Fig. 13.8).12 Multilayer thin films composed of...

The TER-XSW method opens the possibility of using XSW to profile nanoscale metal structures and ion distributions above solid surfaces and at fluid-solid interfaces. Applications of TER-XSW have included direct observation of the diffuse electrical double layer at the charged membrane and electrolyte interfaces (Bedzyk et al. 1990 Wang et al. 2001), structural characterization of self-assembled organic monolayers (Lin et al. 1997), and determining metal ion partitioning at oxide-biofilm interfaces (Templeton et al. 2001). These applications are discussed later in this chapter.
