Nature offers inspiration for developing technologies that integrate the capture, conversion,
and storage of solar energy. In this review article, we highlight principles of natural …

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 …

Inserting molecular monolayers within metal/semiconductor interfaces provides one of the
most powerful expressions of how minute chemical modifications can affect electronic …

Lipid-bilayer membranes supported on solid substrates are widely used as cell-surface
models that connect biological and artificial materials. They can be placed either directly on …

We present a concise, although admittedly non‐exhaustive, but hopefully didactic review
and discussion of some of the central and basic concepts related to the energetics of …

Organic thin-film transistors are attracting a great deal of attention due to the relatively high
field-effect mobility in several organic materials. In these organic semiconductors, however …

Work functions of gold and silver are varied by over 1.4 and 1.7 eV, respectively, by using
self‐assembled monolayers. Using these modified electrodes, the hole current in a poly (2 …

Printing is an emerging approach for low-cost, large-area manufacturing of electronic
circuits, but it has the disadvantages of poor resolution, large overlap capacitances, and film …

Gold surfaces modified with C3− C18-alkanethiols (CH3 (CH2) X-1SH; HX SH; x= 3, 8, 12,
16, 18) and C16-alkanethiols, fluorinated at the outer 1, 2, 4, and 10 methylene positions …

We have systematically investigated the effects of surface modification of titania (TiO 2) in
hybrid TiO 2∕ regioregular poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) photovoltaic cells. By employing …
