Recent investigations have shown that cycloaddition reactions, widely used in organic
chemistry to form ring compounds, can also be applied to link organic molecules to the (001) …

Molecular attachment chemistry is emerging as an important approach to tailor the chemical,
physical, and mechanical properties of silicon surfaces, as well as to incorporate organic …

The reaction of nanoscale diamond (ND) powder with an elemental fluorine/hydrogen
mixture at temperatures varying from 150 to 470° C resulted in the high degree of ND …

Methods that can be used to tailor the surface properties of semiconductors will become
increasingly important as new applications for semiconductor-based materials continue to …

The concept of proton affinity on semiconductor surfaces has been explored through an
investigation of the chemistry of amines on the Ge (100)-2× 1, Si (100)-2× 1, and C (100)-2× …

Hydrogen radical attacks and subsequent hydrogen migrations are considered to play an
important role in the atomic-scale mechanisms of diamond chemical vapour deposition …

Formation of functional monolayers on surfaces of carbon materials is inherently difficult
because of the high bond strength of carbon and because common pathways such as SN2 …

The (001) surfaces of diamond, silicon, and germanium share a similar bonding motif in
which pairs of atoms bond to each other via a strong σ bond and a weaker π bond, forming …

Growth of diamond has usually been discussed without invoking any form of surface
diffusion. Our recent theoretical results identified, however, that bridging CH2 and CCH2 …

Diels-Alder reactions are powerful, widely used reactions for CC bond formation. In addition
to the well-known Diels-Alder reactions in the solution phase, it has been shown that they …
