| Abstract | The work function of n-alkanethiol self-assembledmonolayers (SAMs) prepared on theGaAs(001) surface was measured using the Kelvin probe technique yielding the SAM 2D dipole layer potential (DLP). Direct n-dependent proportionality between the DLP values and the C-H stretching mode infrared (IR) absorption intensities was observed, which supports a correspondence of reported IR enhancements with the electrostatic properties of the interface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is also used to verify the work function measurements. In addition, the principal components of the refractive index tensor are shown to be n-invariant in the ordered SAM phase. Our results suggest that a local field correction to the transition dipolemoment accounts for the observed increase in IRactivity through an increase to the electronic polarizability. |
