Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are promising for numerous potential applications
but suffer from poor charge injection, such that their performance is severely limited. Recent …

As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

Eutectic gallium–indium alloy (EGaIn, a room-temperature liquid metal) nanoparticles are of
interest for their unique potential uses in self-healing and flexible electronic devices. One …

The presence of dipolar layers determines the functionality of most technologically relevant
interfaces. The present contribution reviews how periodic dipole assemblies modify the …

A review article on fundamental aspects of thiolate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on
the (111) and (100) surfaces of the Cu and Ni groups is presented. In particular this work is …

Self-assembled monolayers are a unique class of nanostructured materials, with properties
determined by their molecular lattice structures, as well as the interfaces with their substrates …

Work function is a fundamental property of a material's surface. It is playing an ever more
important role in engineering new energy materials and efficient energy devices, especially …

A cluster obtained in high yield from the reduction of a silver-thiolate precursor, Ag-
SCH2CH2Ph, exhibited a single sharp peak near 25 kDa in the matrix-assisted laser …

We propose a computational methodology that highlights the intimate connection between
surface and interface dipoles and work functions or valence band alignments. We apply the …

Micro-and nanosized particles of liquid metals, particularly Ga-based alloys, are attracting
increasing attention for applications in several fields. The surface functionalization of Ga …
