Graphite Nanopatterning Through Interaction with Bio-organic Molecules

Part of the book series: Carbon Nanostructures ((CARBON))

Abstract

We investigated the interaction of the HOPG surface with aqueous solutions of different bio-organic molecules. Upon interaction with the solution, we observe the formation of extended nanopatterned domains on the HOPG surface. The domains, consisting of parallel rows, are oriented according to a three-fold symmetry and are characterized by the same row periodicity, irrespectively of the specific molecules under investigation. The interpretation of the nanopattern in terms of a restructuring of the graphite topmost layer following the interaction with the molecular solution is discussed.
