Abstract A Monte Carlo method, implemented for quantifying confidence bounds on thermoreflectance (TR) measurements of interfacial thermal conductance G at solid-liquid interfaces modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is presented in this paper. Here we used 1-decanethiol (1DT) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecanethiol (PFDT) SAMs to achieve two distinct work of adhesion. Using TR measurements in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations, we determined G values to be 51 ± 7 MWm-2K-1, 58 ± 8 MWm-2K-1, and 72 ± 17 MWm-2K-1 for Au-PFDT-H2O, Au-1DT-H2O, and Au-H2O, respectively. Our results with the new confidence bounds position our experimental data on surfaces modified with SAMs comparable to literature. However, contrary to previous results shown in the literature, our data showed that a significant decrease in G can be seen for DI water on bare Au that was exposed in ambient for extended period. Our results indicate that G could be influenced by factors beyond a simple work of adhesion, an indication also seen from the work of Park et al.. To solidify this finding, further investigation is necessary to better understand G dependence on surface wettability.

AbstractIn the present study some of the methods developed for the experimental determination of (interfacial or film) stress changes in electrochemical systems containing solid-liquid interfaces are briefly reviewed, as well as the kind and quality of information that can be obtained using these methods are discussed. The “bending beam” (“bending cantilever”, “laser beam deflection”, “wafer curvature”) method and related techniques, the piezoelectric method, the extensometer method, and the method based on the measurement of contact angle are discussed in detail. Special attention has been paid to problems related to the use of optical methods for position sensing.
