In this Review, we summarize recent work on modeling of organic/metal and organic/organic
interfaces. Some of the models discussed have a semiempirical approach, that is …

As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

The tunneling resistance and electronic structure of metal–molecule–metal junctions based
on oligoacene (benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, and tetracene) thiol and dithiol …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organic molecules generally modify the surface
properties when covalently linked to substrates. In organic electronics, SAMs are used to …

Organic surfaces play a major role in materials science. Most surfaces that we touch in our
daily lives are made from organic materials, eg, vegetables, fruit, skin, wood, and textiles …

The recent and rapid enhancement in power conversion efficiencies of organic-based, bulk-
heterojunction solar cells has been a consequence of both improved materials design and …

A systematic search for global and energetically low-lying minimum structures of neutral
gold clusters Au n (n= 2–20) is performed within a seeded genetic algorithm technique using …

The focus of the present article is on understanding the insight that X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) measurements can provide when studying self-assembled monolayers …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organic molecules provide an important tool to tune
the work function of electrodes in plastic electronics and significantly improve device …

In the last two decades surface science techniques have decisively contributed to our
present knowledge of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on solid surfaces …
