The book describes the experimental techniques employed to study surfaces and interfaces.
The emphasis is on the experimental method. Therefore all chapters start with an …

Understanding the bio-physical–chemical interactions at nanostructured biointerfaces and
the assembly mechanisms of so-called hybrid nano-composites is nowadays a key issue for …

The gold–sulphur interface of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was extensively studied
some time ago. More recently tremendous progress has been made in the preparation and …

For implantable bioelectronic devices, the interface between the device and the biological
environment requires significant attention as it dictates the device performance in vivo. Non …

Molecular junctions can be miniaturized devices for heat-to-electricity conversion
application, yet these operate only in mild thermal environments (less than 323 K) because …

We present the synthesis of novel disk-shaped hexagonal Cu2Te nanocrystals with a well-
defined stoichiometric composition and tunable diameter and thickness. Subsequent cation …

Abstract The Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) has been identified as a
suitable candidate for a spicy taste (Zanthoxylum plant) sensor. In this study, we investigated …

The interaction of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with cysteine and its derivatives is the basis of
a number of bionanotechnologies, and for these, the most important process is aggregation …

The engineering of complex architectures from functional molecules on surfaces provides
new pathways to control matter at the nanoscale. In this article, we present a combined study …

As an organic nanostructure, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) play a central role in many
aspects of nanotechnology, including molecular electronics. In this work, we show that SAMs …
