Assembly of Robust Holmium-Directed 2D Metal-Organic Coordination Complexes and Networks on the Ag(100) Surface
We describe the formation of lanthanide-organic coordination networks and complexes under ultra-high-vacuum conditions on a clean Ag(100) surface. The structures comprise single Ho atoms as coordination centers and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (from terephtali ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2018An electron acceptor molecule in a nanomesh: F(4)TCNQ on h-BN/Rh(111)
Huanyao Cun, Silvan Dino Marcos Roth
The adsorption of molecules on surfaces affects the surface dipole and thus changes in the work function may be expected. The effect in change of work function is particularly strong if charge between substrate and adsorbate is involved. Here we report the ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2018Local resilience of the 1T-TiSe2 charge density wave to Ti self-doping
Helmuth Berger, Elia Razzoli, Philipp Aebi
In Ti-intercalated self-doped 1T-TiSe2 crystals, the charge density wave (CDW) superstructure induces two nonequivalent sites for Ti dopants. Recently, it has been shown that increasing Ti doping dramatically influences the CDW by breaking it into phase-sh ...
Amer Physical Soc2017Correlating microscopy techniques and ToF-SIMS analysis of fully grown mammalian oocytes
The 2D-molecular thin film analysis protocol for fully grown mice oocytes is described using an innovative approach. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical mi ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2016Short-range phase coherence and origin of the 1T-TiSe2 charge density wave
Helmuth Berger, Elia Razzoli, Philipp Aebi
The impact of variable Ti self-doping on the 1T-TiSe2 charge density wave (CDW) is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Supported by density functional theory, we show that agglomeration of intercalated-Ti atoms acts as preferential nucleation centers ...
Amer Physical Soc2016Nonstoichiometric Low-Temperature Grown GaAs Nanowires
Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Federico Matteini, Heidi Andrea Potts, Tao Xu
The structural and electronic properties of nonstoichiometric low-temperature grown GaAs nanowire shells have been investigated with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, pump probe reflectivity, and cathodoluminescence measurements. The growth o ...
American Chemical Society2015Pulsed laser deposition growth of 3D ZnO nanowall network in nest-like structures by two-step approach
Gwénolé Jean Jacopin, Mahmoud Saeed Qaid Mohammad Hezam
The mechanism for the growth of 3D ZnO nanowall networks in nest-like structure by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique have been investigated for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and biosensor applications. As complex oxides shift towards large vol ...
Elsevier2015Covalent coupling via dehalogenation on Ni(111) supported boron nitride and graphene
Polymerization of 1,3,5-tris(4-bromophenyl) benzene via dehalogenation on graphene and hexagonal boron nitride is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and density functional theory calculations. This work reveals how the interactions b ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2015Microscopic evidence for strong periodic lattice distortion in two-dimensional charge-density wave systems
In quasi-two-dimensional electron systems of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) there is still controversy about the nature of the transitions to charge-density wave (CDW) phases, i.e., whether they are described by a Peierls-type mechanism or ...
Amer Physical Soc2014Electronic and magnetic properties of bulk Cr tips for scanning tunneling spectroscopy
The electronic and magnetic properties of bulk Cr tips for scanning tunneling microscopy have been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements. Spin-resolved densities of stat ...
