Azulen (Az) ist ein nicht‐alternierender aromatischer Kohlenwasserstoff, der aus einem
elektronenreichen Ring mit fünf und einem elektronenarmen Ring mit sieben Gliedern …

Cyanide monolayers on Au {111} restructure from a hexagonal close-packed lattice to a
mixed-orientation “ribbon” structure through thermal annealing. The new surface structure …

Thin film growth of molecules on substrates are governed by the convolution of inter-
molecular forces and template-adsorbate interactions. Often the initial dimer formation plays …

We developed a new type of light-driven molecular switch with ultrafast switching speeds
and high fatigue resistance. The aforementioned switch is based on a 5a, 13-methanoindolo …

First-principles mechanistic investigations of field-induced switching in an oligo (phenylene
ethynylene) derivative attached to graphene nanoribbon leads are presented. It was shown …

Photoswitching materials are building blocks of next generation optoelectronic devices
which may require molecule deposition on a solid substrate. However, molecule properties …

Scanning probe microscopies and spectroscopies enable investigation of surfaces and even
buried interfaces down to the scale of chemical-bonding interactions, and this capability has …

A series of azobenzene derivatives which differ in the number of rings attached to benzene
is investigated using dispersion-corrected density-functional theoretical methods. The …

Density functional theory has been applied in a study of charge transfer between an
endohedral calcium atom and the fullerene cage in Ca@ C60H4 and [Ca@ C60H4]+ …

The orientation switching of a single azobenzene molecule on Au (111) surface excited by
tunneling electrons and/or photons has been demonstrated in recent experiments. Here we …
