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 …

Localized molecular self‐assembly processes leading to the growth of nanostructures
exclusively from the surface of a material is one of the great challenges in surface chemistry …

We present a variable-temperature study of monolayer self-assembly at the liquid− solid
interface. By means of in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), reversible phase …

The bulk properties of glasses and amorphous materials have been studied widely, but the
determination of their structural details at the molecular level is hindered by the lack of long …

We use the electric field in a scanning tunneling microscope to manipulate the transition
between open and close packed 2D supramolecular networks of neutral molecules in …

We present a theoretical modeling study of self-assembly of molecules into two-dimensional
(2D) hydrogen-bonded networks. We compare two computational techniques, molecular …

In view of the many potential applications for functional hybrid interfaces, the controlled
assembly of sophisticated structures on surfaces is a current challenge for chemists …

Self-assembled physisorbed monolayers consist of regular two-dimensional arrays of
molecules. Two-dimensional self-assembly of organic and metal–organic building blocks is …

The competition between intermolecular interactions and lateral variations in the molecule–
substrate interactions has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) …

We present a combined study of the adsorption and ordering of the l-tyrosine amino acid on
the close-packed Ag (111) noble-metal surface in ultrahigh vacuum by means of low …
