Quantum strongly correlated systems that exhibit interesting features in condensed matter
physics often need an unachievable temperature or pressure range in classical materials …

Morphologies of adsorbed molecular films are of interest in a wide range of applications. To
study the epitaxial growth of these systems in computer simulations requires access to long …

A deep grasp of the properties of the interface between organic molecules and hexagonal
boron nitride (h-BN) is essential for the full implementation of these two building blocks in …

Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we made an accurate structural
characterization of the C 60 superstructures self-assembled on the Tl-adsorbed Si (111) and …

We discovered a set of C 60 nanostructures that appear to be constructed using a universal
building block made of four C 60 molecules on Si (111) or Ge (111) surfaces covered by an …

Lattice vibration in solids may carry angular momentum. But unlike the intrinsic spin of
electrons, the lattice vibration is rarely rotational. To induce angular momentum, one needs …

The rotation dynamics of C 60 molecules in monolayer fullerene films grown on the WO 2/W
(110) surface is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. The formation of molecule …

Understanding molecular switching between different charge states is crucial to further
progress in molecule-based nano-electronic devices. Herein we have employed scanning …

The authors report on the behavior of C60 molecules adsorbed on graphene (Gr)
monolayers grown on Rh (110), studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy and …

In this thesis, three organic molecules are examined on three distinct surfaces by a variety of
surface science techniques, foremost among them being scanning tunneling microscopy …
