We find that the isomers are organized differently. The organization is presumably governed by their intermol. and surface interactions. Moreover, the chem. and phys. characteristics of the interface are significantly and differently affected by the isomers comprising the SAMs. The electrochem. of the modified surface as well as the bare gold surface in contact with the thiol-contg. electrolyte, copper deposition and palladium(II) extn. have been studied for the 2-, 3- and 4-ATP monolayers. The organization of the layers has been investigated by STM. In essence, we find that the different isomers are likely to adopt an orientation that is perpendicular to the surface. While 4-ATP forms the densest monolayer, 2-ATP probably interacts with the gold surface with both the amino and the mercapto groups. Moreover, STM images indicate the partial formation of more than a monolayer. This is supported by XPS measurements and electrochem. and can be attributed to the SAM modification soln., i.e. sulfuric acid, which allows the formation of sulfate-bridged ATP bilayers. The chem. and phys. characteristics of the interfaces are governed by the different organization as well as by the individual chem. properties of each isomer.

The fast "reading" and "erasing" processes are due to the fact that there is no phase transition between the two states and that the ingression and egression of ions is very fast. In principle, the resoln. of patterning depends on the size of the microelectrodes, which currently can be reduced to the nanometer range. The uniqueness of this system is that the propagation of the lateral charge inside the thin film can be detected independently of its formation. This allows the study of lateral charge transport and enables the development of better systems in terms of resoln. and information storage capabilities.
