Emergence of π-magnetism in open-shell nanographenes has been theoretically predicted
decades ago but their experimental characterization was elusive due to the strong chemical …

During the last decade, interest on the growth and self-assembly of organic molecular
species on solid surfaces spread over the scientific community, largely motivated by the …

In molecular spintronics, the spin state of a molecule may be switched on and off by
changing the molecular structure. Here, we switch on and off the molecular spin of a double …

Turning graphene magnetic is a promising challenge to make it an active material for
spintronics. Predictions state that graphene structures with specific shapes can …

In recent years inelastic spin-flip spectroscopy using a low-temperature scanning tunneling
microscope has been a very successful tool for studying not only individual spins but also …

We present a systematic investigation of molecule-metal interactions for transition-metal
phthalocyanines (TMPc, with TM= Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) adsorbed on Ag (100). Scanning tunneling …

As a result of the continuous drive to fabricate electronic devices on lightweight, large-area
plastic substrates by low-cost processing techniques, organic electronics is currently running …

Collective magnetic properties are usually associated with the d or f electrons that carry the
individual magnetic moments. A fully spin-polarized ground state based on π electrons has …

Molecular self-assembly is a well-known technique to create highly functional
nanostructures on surfaces. Self-assembly on two-dimensional (2D) materials is a …

Advances in molecular electronics depend on the ability to control the charge and spin of
single molecules at the interface with a metal. Here we show that bonding of metal–organic …
