摘要
Infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry was used for determination of molecular orientation and for lateral homogeneity studies of organic monolayers on GaAs and Au, the organic layer being either octanedithiol or hexadecanethiol (HDT). The laterally resolved measurements were performed with the infrared mapping ellipsometer at the synchrotron storage ring BESSY II. The molecular orientation within the monolayers was determined by optical model simulations of the measured ellipsometric spectra. Different tilt angles were obtained for the monolayers of HDT and octanedithiol on GaAs: 19 degrees and > 30 degrees, respectively. The tilt angle of the methylene chains for HDT on Au substrate (22 degrees) is similar to the 190 tilt which was obtained for the HDT monolayers on GaAs, thus suggesting similar molecular ordering of the thiolates on both substrates.
