The adsorption of terephthalic acid [C6H4(COOH)(2), TPA] on a Pd(111) surface has been investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy under ultrahig ...
We have characterized the polymer physics of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using atomic force microscopy. The persistence length l(p) of circular ssDNA adsorbed on a modified graphite surface was determined independently of secondary structure. At a very low ...
In this work the development of a low-temperature scanning probe microscope and the investigation of thin insulating films at the atomic limit is presented. The scanning probe microscope has been designed in a modular way to provide large flexibility for t ...
Due to the importance of scanning tunneling microscopy for atomic scale research the anomalously high corrugation values on close packed metal surfaces have been the subject of debate and extensive theoretical work in the past two decades. To date it remai ...
We present a hybrid time-dependent d. functional/mol. mechanics (TDDFT/MM) simulation study on the optical properties of aminocoumarins in gas phase and soln. As solvation is described through a mol. approach, the effects due to the inhomogeneities of the ...
A review. Since the first mol. dynamics simulations of hard spheres by Alder and Wainwright in the fifties of the last century (Alder, B.J. and Wainwright, T.E. (1957) Phase transition for a hard sphere system, J. Chem. Phys. 27, 1208-1209), this method ha ...
First-principles molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to study the structural properties of liquid GeSe2. We use a generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation energy, which we find to improve significantly upon the local d ...
We present three-dimensional simulations of the image formation process in near-field optical microscopy, Our calculations take into account the different components of a realistic experiment: an extended metal coated tip, a subwavelength sample and its su ...
Electro-static or electro-dynamic fields generated by micro- or nano-electrodes are today widely used in many different fields, such as micro- and nanogripping, "lab on a chip", and "lab in a cell", for the purpose of manipulation, separation, or analysis ...
Submonolayer epitaxial growth is obtained by the deposition of less than a complete layer of atoms on a single crystal surface. It is of fundamental interest for industrial applications (e.g. in the semiconductor industry) as well as from the point of view ...
