By using established statistical thermodynamic theory of adsorbate-induced surface stress of adsorption monolayer on … metal surface, the surface stress Δg in the self-assembly of alkanethiols on Au(111) surface has been calculated. The … quantitative relations of the surface stress Δg with the length N of the alkyl chain of the molecule and with the coverage θ of …
