The critical role of wavelength in the UV-activated grafting of 1-alkene onto silicon and silicon nitride SixN4 surfaces. Issue 52 (11th June 2018) - Brunet, M.
Abstract : The wavelength used during photochemical grafting of alkene onto silicon related surfaces influences molecular surface coverage. Abstract : The wavelength used during photochemical grafting of alkene onto silicon related surfaces influences molecular surface coverage. Ultraviolet light leads to apparent highly dense layers on UV absorbing materials due to the side reaction between alkenes resulting in strongly physisorbed dimers whereas higher wavelengths lead to dense and well-controlled layers.
