Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have attracted tremendous research interest over the
last two decades. Their unique optical, electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties make …

The miniaturization trend in the semiconductor industry has led to the understanding that
interfacial properties are crucial for device behaviour. Spintronics has not been alien to this …

Highly-efficient molecular photoswitching occurs ex-situ but not to-date inside electronic
devices due to quenching of excited states by background interactions. Here we achieve …

The concept of using single molecules as key building blocks for logic gates, diodes and
transistors to perform basic functions of digital electronic devices at the molecular scale has …

Small organic molecules, capable of undergoing efficient and reversible photochemical
reactions to switch them between (at least) two (meta) stable isomers associated with …

We show that the different bond orders of individual carbon-carbon bonds in polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons and fullerenes can be distinguished by noncontact atomic force …

Molecular electronic devices with tunable conductance states show great potential in
building memories and logic components for next-generation circuits. In recent years …

During the last decade, interest on the growth and self-assembly of organic molecular
species on solid surfaces spread over the scientific community, largely motivated by the …

We use different semiempirical dispersion correction schemes to assess the role of long-
range van der Waals interactions in the adsorption of the prototypical molecular switch …

The invention of the scanning tunneling microscope has led to the visualization of molecules
in real space on atomically flat conductive substrates. This has boosted research into …
