Nanostructured materials may be defined as those materials whose structural elements-
clusters, crystallites or molecules-have dimensions in the 1 to 100 nm range. The explosion …

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

Recently, films produced by depositing pre-formed mass-selected atomic clusters in the size
range 1–10nm have generated a great deal of attention. The ability to control the size …

Because of its superior properties silicon carbide is one of the most promising materials for
power electronics, hard-and biomaterials. In the solid phase, the electronic and optical …

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to study the electronic
structure of individual C 60 molecules adsorbed onto the Au (111) and Ag (100) surfaces. C …

One potential application of molecular nanotechnology is the integration of molecular
