We have realized tuning of electronic memory-switching property via functional group
modification in solid-state devices. Apart from their large ON/OFF ratio and long memory …

Technomimetic molecules are molecules designed to imitate macroscopic objects at the
molecular level, also transposing the motions that these objects are able to undergo. This …

The conformations of organometallic polymers formed via the bottom-up assembly of
monomer units on a metal surface are investigated, and the relationship between the …

Nanomachine and molecular machines are state-of-the-art objects in current physics and
chemistry. The operation and manufacturing of nanosize machines are top-level …

The C 1s and N 1s near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra of three
prototype tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP) molecules are discussed in the framework of a …

We study the current through molecular films as a function of the orientation of the molecules
in the film with respect to electrodes. It may change by more than an order of magnitude …

Structural hierarchies at the molecular level can be determined by the hierarchies of
interaction energies; in other words, for the generation of complex structures in several …

Building electronic components made of individual molecules is a promising strategy for the
miniaturization and integration of electronic devices. However, the practical realization of …

Hydrogen (H)-bond dynamics are involved in many elementary processes in chemistry and
biology. Because of its fundamental importance, a variety of experimental and theoretical …

Achieving exquisite control of the structural organization in molecular arrangements of π-
conjugated (macro) molecules with tailored chemical functionalities and physical properties …
