Visualizing Chiral Interactions in Carbohydrates Adsorbed on Au(111) by High-Resolution STM Imaging

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Uta Schlickum

Carbohydrates are the most abundant organic material on Earth and the structural "material of choice" in many living systems. Nevertheless, design and engineering of synthetic carbohydrate materials presently lag behind that for protein and nucleic acids. ...

Molecular sensitised probe for amino acid recognition within peptide sequences

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Uta Schlickum, Daniel Pablo Rosenblatt, Sabine Abb, Sebastian Koslowski

The combination of low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy with a mass-selective electro-spray ion-beam deposition established the investigation of large biomolecules at nanometer and sub-nanometer scale. Due to complex architecture and conformation ...

Controlling Single Molecule Conductance by a Locally Induced Chemical Reaction on Individual Thiophene Units

Klaus Kern, Uta Schlickum, Peter Wahl, Hagen Klauk, Ivan Pentegov, Verena Katharina Schendel

Among the prerequisites for the progress of single-molecule-based electronic devices are a better understanding of the electronic properties at the individual molecular level and the development of methods to tune the charge transport through molecular jun ...

Remotely Controlled Isomer Selective Molecular Switching

Klaus Kern, Uta Schlickum, Peter Wahl, Hagen Klauk, Ivan Pentegov, Verena Katharina Schendel

Non local addressing-the "remote control"- of molecular switches promises more efficient processing for information technology, where fast speed of switching is essential. The surface state of the (111) facets of noble metals, a confined two-dimensional el ...

Bipolar Conductance Switching of Single Anthradithiophene Molecules

Klaus Kern, Uta Schlickum, Peter Wahl, Hagen Klauk, Ivan Pentegov, Verena Katharina Schendel

Single molecular switches are basic device elements in organic electronics. The pentacene analogue anthradithiophene (ADT) shows a fully reversible binary switching between different adsorption conformations on a metallic surface accompanied by a charge tr ...

Dynamic Control of Plasmon Generation by an Individual Quantum System

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Uta Schlickum, Romain Froidevaux, Alexander Kabakchiev, Theresa Lutz, Christoph Grosse

Controlling light on the nanoscale in a similar way as electric currents has the potential to revolutionize the exchange and processing of information. Although light can be guided on this scale by coupling it to plasmons, that is, collective electron osci ...

Molecular Orbital Gates for Plasmon Excitation

Klaus Kern, Uta Schlickum, Alexander Kabakchiev, Theresa Lutz, Christian Alexander Stephan Dette, Christoph Grosse

Future combinations of plasmonics with nanometer-size electronic circuits require strategies to control the electrical excitation of plasmons at the length scale of individual molecules. A unique tool to study the electrical plasmon excitation with ultimat ...

Temperature and magnetic field dependence of a Kondo system in the weak coupling regime

Klaus Kern, Markus Ternes, Uta Schlickum, Peter Wahl

The Kondo effect arises due to the interaction between a localized spin and the electrons of a surrounding host. Studies of individual magnetic impurities by scanning tunneling spectroscopy have renewed interest in Kondo physics; however, a quantitative co ...

Formation of Fe Cluster Superlattice in a Metal-Organic Quantum-Box Network

Harald Brune, Marina Pivetta, Uta Schlickum, Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni

We report on the self-assembly of Fe adatoms on a Cu(111) surface that is patterned by a metal-organic honeycomb network, formed by coordination of dicarbonitrile pentaphenyl molecules with Cu adatoms. Fe atoms landing on the metal surface are mobile and s ...

Self-Assembly of Nanoporous Chiral Networks with Varying Symmetry from Sexiphenyl-dicarbonitrile on Ag(111)

Harald Brune, Régis Decker, Uta Schlickum

The self-assembly of sexiphenyl-dicarbonitrile molecules on the Ag(111) surface is investigated using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in ultrahigh vacuum. Several nanoporous networks with varying symmetry and pore size coexist on the su ...

Does the Surface Matter? Hydrogen-Bonded Chain Formation of an Oxalic Amide Derivative in a Two- and Three-Dimensional Environment

Harald Brune, Klaus Kern, Sylvain Clair, Marta Canas Ventura, Uta Schlickum

We report on a multi-technique investigation of the supramolecular organisation of N,N-diphenyl oxalic amide under differently dimensioned environments, namely three-dimensional (3D) in the bulk crystal, and in two dimensions on the Ag(111) surface as well ...
