There is a rapidly growing interest in the surface chemistry of the group (IV) semiconductors,
silicon and germanium, not only for the many technological applications presently in use …

Redox-active self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) provide an excellent platform for
investigating electron transfer kinetics. Using a well-defined bridge, a redox center can be …

We present an overview of various aspects of the self-assembly of organic monolayers on
silicon substrates for molecular electronics applications. Different chemical strategies …

Infrared spectroscopy is used to investigate the transformation of carboxyl-terminated alkyl
chains immobilized on a surface into succinimidyl ester-terminated chains by reaction with …

Molecular electronics describes the field in which molecules are utilized as the active
(switching, sensing, etc.) or passive (current rectifiers, surface passivants) elements in …

The combination of monocrystalline silicon's well-defined structure and the ability to prepare
hydrogen-terminated surfaces (Si− H) easily and reproducibly has made this material a very …

Simple and effective generation of transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) in a single-layer
form has been a challenging task. Here we present a tandem molecular intercalation (TMI) …

This review provides a comprehensive survey of the derivatization of hydrogen-terminated,
oxide-free silicon surfaces with electroactive assemblies (from molecules to polymers) …

Over the last decade there has been increasing awareness of the opportunities presented
by the convergence of surface science and organic chemistry for the development of …

A very mild method was developed for the attachment of high-quality organic monolayers on
crystalline silicon surfaces. By using visible light sources, from 447 to 658 nm, a variety of 1 …
