Intermolecular electron‐transfer reactions are key processes in physics, chemistry, and
biology. The electron‐transfer rates depend primarily on the system reorganization energy …

Adsorption plays a critical role in surface and interface processes. Fractional surface
coverage and adsorption free energy are two essential parameters of molecular adsorption …

Charge transport in electrochemical energy-storage systems critically relies on supporting
electrolytes to maintain ionic strength and solution conductivity. Despite recent progress, it is …

It was a long-cherished dream for chemists to take a direct look at chemical bonding, a
fundamental component of chemistry. This dream was finally accomplished by the state-of …

Reorganization energy, a crucial factor in quantum chemistry, plays an integral role in the
research of optoelectronic and electrical devices such as organic field-effect transistors and …

Using a noncontact atomic force microscope, we track and manipulate the position of single
electrons confined to atomic structures engineered from silicon dangling bonds on the …

We study a low-temperature on-surface reversible chemical reaction of oxygen atoms to
molecules in ultrahigh vacuum on the semiconducting rutile TiO2 (110)-(1× 1) surface. The …

Terminating the tip of an atomic force microscope with a CO molecule allows data to be
acquired with a well-known and inert apex. Previous studies have shown conflicting results …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) as well as scanning tunneling microscopy induced light
emission (STM-LE) are, each on their own, powerful tools used to investigate a large variety …

The gating of charge transport through single-molecule junctions is considered a critical step
towards molecular circuits but remains challenging. In this work, we report an electrostatic …
