Dielectrics represent a new frontier for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. They can serve
as either a complement or an alternative to conventional, metal-based SERS, offering key …

Building an electronic device using individual molecules is one of the ultimate goals in
nanotechnology. To achieve this it will be necessary to measure, control and understand …

Understanding and controlling the flow of heat is a major challenge in nanoelectronics.
When a junction is driven out of equilibrium by light or the flow of electric charge, the …

Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) at molecule-metal or molecule-semiconductor interfaces
is of interest to many research fields. Examples include, among others, photocatalysis, 1-3 …

Transport in metal− molecule− metal junctions is defined by the alignment and coupling of
molecular orbitals with continuum electronic states in the metal contacts. Length-dependent …

A general many-body nonequilibrium Green's function approach for interacting phonons is
developed, and applied to study the thermal conductance of an anharmonic molecular …

The interaction of light with molecular conduction junctions is attracting growing interest as a
challenging experimental and theoretical problem on one hand, and because of its potential …

Spatial resolution at the atomic scale has been achieved in the coupling of light to single
molecules adsorbed on a surface. Electron transfer to a single molecule induced by green to …

Titanium dioxide photosensitization may be achieved in various ways, involving surface
modification with appropriate species. The photosensitization process requires a visible light …

We present an expression for the lowest order nonzero contribution to the surface-enhanced
Raman spectrum obtained from a system of a molecule adsorbed on a semiconductor …
