    Mechanocatalysis of CO to CO2 on TiO2 surface controlled at atomic scale

    The common ways to activate a chemical reaction are by heat, electric current, or light. However, mechanochemistry, where the chemical reaction is activated by applied mechanical force, is less common and only...

    Subatomic-scale force vector map** above a Ge(001) dimer using bimodal atomic force microscopy

    Measuring vector quantities in nanoscale systems is challenging — often only scalar magnitudes can be experimentally obtained. Now, a multi-frequency atomic force microscopy method for probing the 3D force res...

    Azobenzene–Metal Junction as a Mechanically and Opto–Mechanically Driven Switch

    Mechanically and opto–mechanically controlled azobenzene (AB) switch based on AB–metal break–junction have been studied using ab–initio simulations. It was found that both cistrans and transcis mechanically dr...

    Organometallic Nanojunctions Probed by Different Chemistries: Thermo-, Photo-, and Mechano-Chemistry

    Based on ab-initio simulations, three different types of chemistry, namely thermo-, photo-, and mechano-chemistry are compared for organometallic nanojunctions. In the first part we provide the first direct compa...
