This award is the starter grant increment of Dr. McCarley's Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chemistry. Scanning tunneling (STM) and atomic force (ATM) microscopy studies will be carried out on thin metal films formed upon organic monolayers containing pendant metal binding sites. Surface diffusion of adatoms should be controllable by varying the tail group thus allowing better control over metal film properties. ATM and STM will be used to monitor the morphology of metals formed on these modified surfaces. Metal films produced by vacuum evaporation will be investigated in order to note differences in nucleation events. %%% This research will study methods which can lead to the preparation of thin metal films. These materials are of considerable commercial importance to the electronics industry.

该奖项是麦卡利博士的化学博士后奖学金的首发赠款增量。扫描隧道（STM）和原子力（ATM）显微镜研究将在含有吊坠金属结合位点的有机单层形成的薄金属膜上进行。 Adatoms的表面扩散应通过改变尾部组来控制，从而可以更好地控制金属膜性能。 ATM和STM将用于监测这些经过修饰的表面上形成的金属的形态。真空蒸发产生的金属膜将进行研究，以便注意成核事件的差异。 %%％这项研究将研究可能导致薄金属膜制备的方法。这些材料对电子行业具有很大的商业意义。
