Abstract
Molecular monolayers can be chemisorbed on the surface of oxidized evaporated thin metal films. The vibrational spectra of these molecular monolayers can be studied by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) and, under certain circumstances, surface enhanced (SER) Raman spectroscopy. Tunnel junctions, formed by evaporating a second metal electrode on top of the molecular monolayer, provide a portable and durable model system for the study of, for example, chemisorption, catalysis, and lubrication, as well as an aid in the study of the tunneling and Raman scattering processes themselves. Advances in Raman instrumentation have made it possible to detect unenhanced molecular monolayers- avoiding some of the inherent disadvantages of tunneling and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopies.
