Atomic clusters, consisting of a few to a few thousand atoms, have emerged over the past 40
years as the ultimate nanoparticles, whose structure and properties can be controlled one …

Nanomaterials have been extensively utilized in the fabrication of a wide range of
biosensors for the diagnostics of cancerous and non-cancerous diseases. Owing to their …

The structure determination of surface species has long been a challenge because of their
rich chemical heterogeneities. Modern tip-based microscopic techniques can resolve …

The strong spatial confinement of a nanocavity plasmonic field has made it possible to

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to study the electronic
structure of individual C 60 molecules adsorbed onto the Au (111) and Ag (100) surfaces. C …

Higher cancer mortality rate can be prevented by the early detection of cancer-associated
biomarkers and appropriate therapeutic intervention. Recently, electrochemical biosensors …

Charge transport of small molecules is measured well with scanning tunneling microscopy,
conducting atomic force microscopy, break junction, nanopore, and covalently bridging …

Motivated by the discovery of the superatom states of C60 molecules, we investigate the
factors that influence their energy and wave function hybridization into nearly free electron …

Fullerenes have attracted a great deal of attention since their discovery [1] because of their
