Atomically precise pieces of matter of nanometer dimensions composed of noble metals are
new categories of materials with many unusual properties. Over 100 molecules of this kind …

The discovery of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) revolutionized organometallic chemistry
due to their strong metal–ligand bonds. These strong bonds also lend enhanced stability to …

Pin geometry perovskite solar cells (PSCs) offer simplified fabrication, greater amenability to
charge extraction layers, and low-temperature processing over nip counterparts. Self …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols and dialkanethiols on gold are key
elements for building many systems and devices with applications in the wide field of …

This review focuses on molecular ensemble junctions in which the individual molecules of a
monolayer each span two electrodes. This geometry favors quantum mechanical tunneling …

Elastomeric stamps and molds provide a great opportunity to eliminate some of the
disadvantages of photolithograpy, which is currently the leading technology for fabricating …

The structural phases and the growth of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are reviewed
from a surface science perspective, with emphasis on simple model systems. The concept of …

Monolayer-protected gold clusters (Au MPCs) are stable, easily synthesized, organic solvent-
soluble, nanoscale materials. MPCs with protecting monolayers composed of alkanethiolate …

In the early 1930s, amphiphile monolayers were used to control the wetting behavior of
metal condenser plates in steam engines. 1-3 Wettability control was desired because …

The use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in various fields of research is rapidly
growing. In particular, many biomedical fields apply SAMs as an interface-layer between a …
