A detailed investigation and characterization of the local properties of individual nanoscopic structures is of great importance for the understanding of novel physical phenomena at the nanoscale as well as for the assessment of their possible use in futur ...
A detailed structural analysis of the surface supported self-assembly of terphenyl-4,4′′-dicarbonitrile molecules (NC−Ph3−CN) linked by Co adatoms on Ag(111) reveals different surface patterns depending on the constraints applied to the system. Without con ...
The growth of rubrene (C42H28, 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene) multilayer islands up to a thickness of six layers on a Au(111) surface has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. The molecules self-organize in parallel twin rows, forming mirr ...
The trigonal strain-relief pattern formed by an Ag bilayer on Pt(111) is a prominent example for dislocation networks and their use as nanotemplates. However, its atomic structure has not been solved. Combining scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy ion ...
The combination of the topographic resolution of Scanning Probe Microscopy with the subwavelength information of light/matter interaction leads to a new instrument called Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM). This new instrument is an ideal tool t ...
Scanning probe microscope (SPM) experiments demand a low vibration level to minimize the external influence on the measured signal. We present a miniature six-degree of freedom active damping stage based on a Gough-Stewart platform (hexapod) which is posit ...
Recent advances in low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) have provided new opportunities for the investigation of the local geometric, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of nanostructures. This review focuses ...
Combining the subwavelength resolution of near-field interactions with the optical contrast mechanisms of classical optical microscopy makes scanning near-field optical microscopy an interesting technique for many applications. In spite of more than ten ye ...
Electron transport through metal-molecule contacts greatly affects the operation and performance of electronic devices based on organic semiconductors(1-4) and is at the heart of molecular electronics exploiting single-molecule junctions(5-8). Much of our ...
The general idea of Nanotechnology is not new – it has been studied since Nobel laureate Richard Feynman outlined the idea in a speech in 1959 – but it's only recently that the progress carried out in the various fields of material, optic, physic and engin ...
