Nanocrystals (NCs) discussed in this Review are tiny crystals of metals, semiconductors,
and magnetic material consisting of hundreds to a few thousand atoms each. Their size …

In this Review, we summarize recent work on modeling of organic/metal and organic/organic
interfaces. Some of the models discussed have a semiempirical approach, that is …

Inserting molecular monolayers within metal/semiconductor interfaces provides one of the
most powerful expressions of how minute chemical modifications can affect electronic …

Ever since the first field-effect transistors (FETs) based on polymer1-3 and small molecule4,
5 semiconductors were reported, interest in this field has risen steadily for both technological …

The presence of dipolar layers determines the functionality of most technologically relevant
interfaces. The present contribution reviews how periodic dipole assemblies modify the …

Capping agents (organic ligands, polymers, surfactants, etc.) are a basic component in the
synthesis of metal nanoparticles with controlled size and well-defined shape. However, their …

Organic materials are attractive for building spintronics devices owing to their expected long
spin lifetimes. Moreover, the ability to control their properties by changing their composition …

During the last decade, interest on the growth and self-assembly of organic molecular
species on solid surfaces spread over the scientific community, largely motivated by the …

Considerable research and development means have been focused in the past decade on
organic semiconductor thin films and devices with applications to full color displays, flexible …

The authors review the band line-ups and band offsets between semiconductors, dielectrics,
and metals, including the theory, experimental data, and the chemical trends. Band offsets …
