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 cis→trans and trans→cis 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...
