Thermally annealed nanodiamond has been functionalized by C–C coupling of the partially
graphitized diamond surface using aryl diazonium salts. Depending on the terminal …

Diamond materials span a wide range of attractive physical properties, including large
mechanical resistance, high thermal conductivity, and tunable optoelectronic behavior when …

We conducted a comprehensive atomistic simulation study of the adhesive properties of
aromatic rigid-rod poly-[(4, 4′ diphenylene) pyromellitimide] on a dimer-reconstructed …

Styrene on Si (111)-7× 7 surfaces was investigated as a model molecular electronics system
to study the effects of conjugation to the semiconductor surface. Scanning tunneling …

In this dissertation, three aspects about surface and interface engineering of conjugated
