Thus, this technique enables the investigation of interatomic distances for adsorbates and their coordination chemistry. Selective retention of semiconducting SWNTs during spin-coating and reduced sensitivity to adsorbates were demonstrated. The non-linear increase is first thought to be due to the repulsive interaction between adsorbates. This section considers the case when there are two distinct adsorbates present in the system. The adsorbates are situated on the oxide material. This is the case for complex surfaces structures or when considering large molecules as adsorbates. This process where adsorbates migrate to and from the support is called spillover. The reconstruction due to adsorbates is easily recognized by deviation from stress-induced vs. coverage relationship.
