Increasingly high hopes are being placed on organic semiconductors for a variety of
applications. Progress along these lines, however, requires the design and growth of …

As the Si counterpart of graphene, silicene may be defined as an at least partially sp 2-
hybridized, atom-thick honeycomb layer of Si that possesses π-electronic bands. Here we …

We review the binding and energy level alignment of π-conjugated systems on metals, a
field which during the last two decades has seen tremendous progress both in terms of …

The (3× 3) R 30° honeycomb of silicene monolayer on Ag (111) was found to undergo a
phase transition to two types of mirror-symmetric boundary-separated rhombic phases at …

Hybrid ferromagnetic metal/organic interfaces—also known as spinterfaces—can exhibit
highly efficient spin-filtering properties and therefore present a promising class of materials …

The growth of high-quality thin films is a key issue in the ability to design electronic devices
based on organic materials and to tune their properties. In this context, the interfaces …

The properties of crystalline solids can to a large extent be derived from the scale and
dimensionality of periodic arrays of coupled quantum systems such as atoms and …

The geometric and electronic structure of two structurally similar metal–organic networks
grown on the Au (111) surface is investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and …

We demonstrate the application of orbital k-space tomography for the analysis of the
bonding occurring at metal-organic interfaces. Using angle-resolved photoelectron …

Although geometric and electronic properties of any physical or chemical system are always
mutually coupled by the rules of quantum mechanics, counterintuitive coincidences between …
