We present an overview of various aspects of the self-assembly of organic monolayers on
silicon substrates for molecular electronics applications. Different chemical strategies …

Organic functionalization of non-oxidized silicon surfaces, while allowing for robust chemical
passivation of the inorganic substrate, is intended and expected to broaden the chemical …

Al13–is a cluster known for the pronounced stability that arises from coincident closures of
its geometric and electronic shells. We present experimental evidence for a very stable …

In this article, we report the functionalization of alkyne-terminated alkyl monolayers on Si
(100) using “click” chemistry, specifically, the Cu (I)-catalyzed Huisgen 1, 3-dipolar …

Methods for the incorporation of organic functionality onto semiconductor surfaces have
seen immense progress in recent years. Of the multiple methods developed, the direct …

Herein we report on the formation and characterization of pure polyamide thin film
composite (TFC) and zeolite− polyamide thin film nanocomposite (TFN) reverse osmosis …

We report direct determination of the structures and dynamics of interfacial water on a
hydrophilic surface with atomic-scale resolution using ultrafast electron crystallography. On …

Silicon nanomaterials and nanostructures exhibit different properties from those of bulk
silicon materials based on quantum confinement effects. They are expected to lead to the …

The synthesis of silicon nanosheets for fabricating electronic devices, without using
conventional vacuum processes and vapor deposition, is challenging and is anticipated to …

Four methods were used to functionalize crystalline Si (111) surfaces with alkyl groups (C n
H2 n+ 1, n= 1, 2, 6, 8): chlorination with PCl5 followed by alkylation with C n H2 n+ 1MgX …
