Optical spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study in depth manifold physical processes
occurring in molecular solids, at interfaces between molecules and substrates, and at …

Thiols adsorbed on noble metals are prominent model systems for self-assembly and
nanotechnology research. l-cysteine is the only proteinogenic amino acid containing a thiol …

This Perspective does not have the ambition to entirely review the subject of optical
spectroscopy on thin organic films. What we will try to achieve instead is to give an overview …

" Alberto Diaspro has been choreographing light's dance for over 20 years, and in
Nanoscopy and Multidimensional Optical Fluorescence Microscopy, he has assembled a …

The adsorption of cysteine onto the intrinsically chiral gold surface, Au (321) R, S, was
investigated by means of a periodic supercell density functional theory approach. The …

Electrode surfaces modified with peptides or other biomolecules are of great interest for
applications in catalysis and separations. At the electrochemical interface, the structure of …

We model the amplitude line shape and absolute phase of the infrared-visible sum-
frequency signals produced by a thiolated polycrystalline gold surface as a function of the …

The interactions of biomolecules with metal surfaces are important because an adsorbed
layer of such molecules introduces complex reactive functionality to the substrate. However …

The adsorption of hydrogen on Au nanoparticles (NPs) of size of the order of 10 nm has
been investigated by use of localised surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) in the NPs. The …

The Rh shell of the Au/Pt/Rh trimetallic nanoparticles induces a wide variety of interesting
surface reactions by allowing the adsorption of amino acids like L-cysteine (L-Cys). We …
