30] Note the reversal of the hydrophilic±hydrophobic character of the two surface regions on going from operation 2 to operation 4 (Fig. 2).[31] a) [32] The role of atmospheric humidity in this tip-induced surface oxidation (by analogy with previously reported processes of scanning-probe anodization [26,33]) remains to be elucidated.[35] As suggested by the spectroscopic data and additional chemical derivatization experiments, NTS eo generated in this manner appears to be the enolate of a hydroxy carbonyl (ketone/aldehyde) species. Examples of some related enolic carbonyls may be found in a) S. ForsØn, M.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
