Chapter and Conference Paper
Transmission of Rotational Motion Between Molecule-Gears
A molecule-gear rotating without a lateral jittering effect is constructed using a single copper adatom as a physical axle on a lead superconducting surface. The molecule-gear has a diameter of 1.2 nm with 6 t...

A Simple Example of a Molecule-Gear Train: PF3 Molecules on a Cu(111) Surface
A train of molecule gears consisting of PF3 molecules was studied using semi-empirical ASED+ method to explore the mechanism of rotational transmission along this train. It was observed that a unidirectional rota...

Step-by-step rotation of a molecule-gear mounted on an atomic-scale axis
Designing and building molecular machines at the nanometre scale is a conceptual and synthetic challenge. Rotation of a single molecule has been observed but controlling the direction of the rotation has so fa...

Synthesis of graphite monolayer stripes on a stepped Ni(771) surface
Graphite stripes on a stepped Ni(771) substrate were grown in situ by cracking propylene followed by annealing at optimal temperatures between 450 and 590° C. The samples were studied by means of C 1s and Ni 3p c...

Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy and Magneto-Optical Properties of Sputtered RE-TM(CoGd)/Pd Multilayered Films
The magnetic properties of sputtered RE-TM(CoGd)/Pd multilayered films were studied. CoGd layers with high Gd concentration were amorphous. Reducing the Gd concentration, CoGd layers changed from amorphous to ...

Reactive-Sputter Deposition of TiN/ZrN and TiN/CrN Multilayers: Structural and Mechanical Properties
Polycrystalline TiN/ZrN multilayers with a 7.5% lattice mismatch between the layers and TiN/CrN multilayers with a 2.3% mismatch were grown by reactive magnetron sputtering on WC/Co sintered hard alloy substra...

Structure and Mechanical Properties of Titanium Nitride, Zirconium Nitride, and Chromium Nitride Films by Reactive Magnetron-Sputter Deposition
TiN, ZrN, and CrN films were grown by reactive magnetron sputtering on WC-Co sintered hard alloy substrates. Hardness and elastic modulus were measured by nano-indentation tester with low load on tip at 200 mg...
