Experiments on individual molecules using scanning probe microscopies have
demonstrated an exciting diversity of physical, chemical, mechanical, and electronic …

Recent efforts to understand the interaction of large aromatic molecules with metal surfaces
are discussed. We focus exclusively on work involving the model molecule 3, 4, 9, 10 …

Ultrathin insulating NaCl films have been employed to decouple individual pentacene
molecules electronically from the metallic substrate. This allows the inherent electronic …

Progress in nanoscience is becoming increasingly dependent on simulation and modelling.
This is due to a combination of three factors: the reduced size of nano-objects, the …

Molecules of bisthiolterthiophene have been adsorbed on the two facing gold electrodes of
a mechanically controllable break junction in order to form metal-molecule (s)-metal …

▪ Abstract This review is about understanding and controlling organic molecular adsorption
on silicon. The goal is to provide a microscopic picture of structure and bonding in covalently …

The adsorption of large organic molecules on surfaces has recently been the subject of
intensive investigation, both because of the molecules' intrinsic physical and chemical …

Water/solid interfaces are vital to our daily lives and are also a central theme across an
incredibly wide range of scientific disciplines. Resolving the internal structure, that is, the O …

Two-dimensional positioning of intact individual molecules was achieved at room
temperature by a controlled lateral “pushing” action of the tip of a scanning tunneling …

The structure and conformation of a molecule determine its chemical and physical
properties. Molecular conformation at interfaces is of particular importance in organic thin …
