The fabrication methods of the microelectronics industry have been refined to produce ever
smaller devices, but will soon reach their fundamental limits. A promising alternative route to …

The engineering of highly organized systems from instructed molecular building blocks
opens up new vistas for the control of matter and the exploration of nanodevice concepts …

Self‐assembly, the process by which objects initially distributed at random arrange into well‐
defined patterns exclusively due to their local mutual interactions without external …

The atomic structure of the carbon nanomesh template (the so-called 63× 63R30°
reconstruction) on the 6H–SiC (0001) surface was investigated in detail by scanning …

The engineering of complex architectures from functional molecules on surfaces provides
new pathways to control matter at the nanoscale. In this article, we present a combined study …

Supramolecular self-assembly at surfaces provides a pathway for building chemically
customized interfaces. Over the last three decades, research on the role of key parameters …

In scanning probe microscopy, the imaging characteristics in the various interaction
channels crucially depend on the chemical termination of the probe tip. Here we analyze the …

The success of modern supramolecular chemistry is largely based on the enhanced stability
and enlarged number of distinct heteromolecular species generated from relatively weak …

The ability of the low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope to manipulate atoms and
to build nanostructures with atomic precision can be extended to the manipulation of larger …

The bottom-up construction of low-dimensional macromolecular nanostructures directly on a
surface is a promising approach for future application in molecular electronics and …
