    Self-assembly directed one-step synthesis of [4]radialene on Cu(100) surfaces

    The synthetic challenges of radialenes have precluded their practical applications. Here, we report a one-step synthetic protocol of [4]radialene on a copper surface. High-resolution scanning tunneling microsc...

    Supramolecular polymerization of a prebiotic nucleoside provides insights into the creation of sequence-controlled polymers

    Self-assembly of a nucleoside on Au(111) was studied to ascertain whether polymerization on well-defined substrates constitutes a promising approach for making sequence-controlled polymers. Scanning tunneling ...

    Extrapolating Dynamic Leidenfrost Principles to Metallic Nanodroplets on Asymmetrically Textured Surfaces

    In an effort to enhance our knowledge on how to control the movement of metallic nanodroplets, here we have used classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate whether Cu nanostructures deposited on n...

    Self-Organized and Cu-Coordinated Surface Linear Polymerization

    We demonstrate a controllable surface-coordinated linear polymerization of long-chain poly(phenylacetylenyl)s that are self-organized into a “circuit-board” pattern on a Cu(100) surface. Scanning tunneling mic...

    Ab-initio Study of the Diffusion Coefficients in Fe-based Liquids

    With atomistic force fields derived from ab-initio energies and atomic forces, we cooled Fe80B20 from the liquid to the glass state. The pair-distribution functions and the diffusion coefficients were used to cha...
