Study on Nanoscale Temperature Distribution for the Patterning of Self-Assembled Monolayers Using Near-Field Photothermal Desorption
We propose a novel patterning method for self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) using near-field photothermal desorption (NPTD).This paper reports the patterning principle and the study on optimum heating conditions.The proposed method utilizes the thermal desorption of constituent molecules of Lighting a SAM through the irradiation with near-field light
