This tutorial outlines the basic theoretical concepts and tools which underpin the
fundamentals of phase-coherent electron transport through single molecules. The key …

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 …

The presence of dipolar layers determines the functionality of most technologically relevant
interfaces. The present contribution reviews how periodic dipole assemblies modify the …

Catalytic materials are complex systems that contain different units, typically a carrier and an
active phase. For many reactions, redox-active materials constitute the active phase. Active …

Photovoltaic performance of planar perovskite hybrid solar cells (pero-HSCs) has been
improved by mixing CH3NH3PbIxCl3− x and an electron donor polymer [N-9′′-hepta …

A key quantity for molecule–metal interfaces is the energy level alignment of molecular
electronic states with the metallic Fermi level. We develop and apply an efficient theoretical …

This review aims at giving the readers the basic concepts needed to understand two-
dimensional bimolecular organizations at the vacuum–solid interface. The first part …

What do energy level alignments at metal–organic interfaces reveal about the metal–
molecule bonding strength? Is it permissible to take vertical adsorption heights as indicators …

Increasingly high hopes are being placed on organic semiconductors for a variety of
applications. Progress along these lines, however, requires the design and growth of …

We review the binding and energy level alignment of π-conjugated systems on metals, a
field which during the last two decades has seen tremendous progress both in terms of …
