This paper reviews recent experimental and theoretical work on some low-index surfaces of
the group V semimetal bismuth. The main focus is on the geometric and electronic structure …

The field of molecular electronics comprises a fundamental set of issues concerning the
electronic response of molecules as parts of a mesoscopic structure and a technology-facing …

What is the conductance of a single molecule? This basic and seemingly simple question
has been a difficult one to answer for both experimentalists and theorists. To determine the …

Reflecting rapid growth in research and development on organic/polymeric electronic and
photonic materials and devices, Introduction to Organic Electronic and Optoelectronic …

Nanostructured surfaces can be broadly defined as substrates in which the typical features
have dimensions in the range 1–100 nm (although the upper limit of 100 nm may be relaxed …

Recently scanning probe microscopy has made tremendous progress in imaging organic
molecules with high lateral resolution. Atoms and bonds within individual molecules have …

Electrical transport through molecules has been much studied since it was proposed that
individual molecules might behave like basic electronic devices, and intriguing single …

We present a combined multimethod experimental and theoretical study of the geometric
and electronic properties of Co-tetraphenyl-porphyrin (Co-TPP) molecules adsorbed on a …

Quasiparticle interference patterns measured by scanning tunneling microscopy can be
used to study the local electronic structure of metal surfaces and high-temperature …

This article reviews manipulation of single molecules by scanning tunnelling microscopes, in
particular vertical manipulation, lateral manipulation, and inelastic electron tunnelling (IET) …
