  ABSTRACT: The carbon nanotube (fundamentally Single- walled carbon nanotube, SWCNT) based on 1-Amino-undecanethiol (AUT) were extremely controlled (nano-level) organizing a vertical self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on gold single crystal surfaces. The produced nano-surfaces were explored particularly by Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Raman spectroscopy, Electrochemi- cal quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), and Atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The SWCNTs were initially cut (chemically) into short pipes and thiol-derivatized at the open ends. The vertical aggregation of SWCNT-AUTs on chemically refined Au(111) substrates was made-up by their spontaneous chemical bonding among carboxyl derivatized SWCNT-COOH and AUT SAM on Au(111), via peptide bonds, or directly by synthesized SWCNT-AUT composites. Raman spectroscopy and AFM surface images obviously disclosed that the SWCNT- AUT (dia. 20~40 nm) has been vertically categorized d on gold (111) substrates, shaping a SAM with a perpendicular direction.
