Planar bridging an atomically precise surface trench with a single molecular wire on an Au(1 1 1) surface
In a bridge configuration, a single graphene nanoribbon (GNR) is positioned with a picometer precision over a trench in between two monoatomic steps on an Au(1 1 1) surface. This GNR molecular wire adopts a deformed conformation towards the down terrace in between the two contact step edges. Using differential conductance dI/dV mapping from a… Read More

Probing the Effect of the Density of Active Molecules in Large-Area Molecular Junctions
The effect of the density of active molecules in molecular junctions (MJs) has been investigated by using a host/guest strategy. Mixed layers consisting of oligothiophene (BTB) encapsulated by β-cyclodextrin (BTB@β-CD) were generated. Cyclodextrins were then removed, and the pinholes generated were filled with BTB to obtain BTB@BTB films. MJs based on mixed BTB@β-CD and BTB@BTB layers, as well as single-component… Read More

Artificial Graphene Spin Polarized Electrode for Magnetic Tunnel Junctions
2D materials offer the ability to expose their electronic structure to manipulations by a proximity effect. This could be harnessed to craft properties of 2D interfaces and van der Waals heterostructures in devices and quantum materials. We explore the possibility to create an artificial spin polarized electrode from graphene through proximity interaction with a ferromagnetic… Read More

Charge Transport Across Au–P3HT–Graphene van der Waals Vertical Heterostructures
Hybrid van der Waals heterostructures based on 2D materials and/or organic thin films are being evaluated as potential functional devices for a variety of applications. In this context, the graphene/organic semiconductor (Gr/OSC) heterostructure could represent the core element to build future vertical organic transistors based on two back-to-back Gr/OSC diodes sharing a common graphene sheet,… Read More

X-ray magnetic dichroism and tunnel magneto-resistance study of the magnetic phase in epitaxial CrVOx nanoclusters
Epitaxial clusters of chromium and chromium–vanadium oxides are studied by tunnel magneto-resistivity measurements, x-ray absorption spectrometry and circular magnetic circular dichroism. They turn out to carry a small magnetic moment that follows a super-paramagnetic behavior. The chromium ion contribution to this magnetization is mainly due to an original magnetic Cr2O3-like phase, whereas usual Cr2O3 is… Read More

When Identification of the Reduction Sites in Mixed Molybdenum/ Tungsten Keggin-Type Polyoxometalate Hybrids Turns Out Tricky
The mixed molybdenum/tungsten Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM) hybrid (TBA)4[PW9Mo2O39{Sn(C6H4I)}] (TBA = tert-butylammonium) has been prepared by the reaction between [α-PW9Mo2O39]7– and [Cl3Sn(C6H4I)] in dried acetonitrile, in the presence of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide. A further coupling reaction affords the ferrocenyl derivative (TBA)4[PW9Mo2O39{Sn(C6H4)C≡C(C6H4)Fc}]. The POM hybrids have been thoroughly characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopies. Electrochemical analysis confirms their… Read More

Single-crystalline nanoribbon network field effect transistors from arbitrary two-dimensional materials
The last decade has seen a flurry of studies related to graphene nanoribbons owing to their potential applications in the quantum realm. However, little experimental work has been reported towards nanoribbons of other 2D materials. Here, we propose a universal approach to synthesize high-quality networks of nanoribbons from arbitrary 2D materials while maintaining high crystallinity,… Read More

Elastic properties of moiré lattices in epitaxial two-dimensional materials
Unlike conventional two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor superlattices, moiré patterns in 2D materials are flexible and their electronic, magnetic, optical, and mechanical properties depend on their topography. Within a continuous+atomistic theory treating 2D materials as crystalline elastic membranes, we abandon the flat-membrane scenario usually assumed for these materials and address out-of-plane deformations. We confront our predictions to… Read More

Photoredox Processes in the Aggregation and Gelation of Electron-Responsive Supramolecular Polymers Based on Viologen
Viologen-based ditopic bis-pyridinyl-triazole bidentate ligands self-assemble in the presence of palladium ions into supramolecular polymers whose structure is imposed by the directed formation of coordination bonds. Light-irradiation of these electron-responsive supramolecular materials triggers a photo-induced electron transfer yielding isolated π-radicals and dimers of radicals. The photoreduction events and the associated dimerization steps trigger a large-scale… Read More
