Although the structural phase transitions in single-crystal hybrid methyl-ammonium (MA) lead halide perovskites (MAPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) are common phenomena, they have never been observed in the corresponding nanocrystals. Here we…
We have observed reversible light-induced mechanical switching for a single organic molecule bound to a metal surface. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to image the features of an individual azobenzene molecule on Au(111) before…
The single-band high-efficiency light absorption of nanostructures finds extensive applications in var ious fields such as photothermal conversion, optical sensing, and biomedicine. In this paper, a vertically stacked nanohybrid structure…
The nature of light-induced structures in attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy of molecular systems is investigated theoretically. It is shown how nuclear dynamics affect these structures. We find that a theoretical three-surface…
A novel scanning tunneling microscope manipulation scheme for a controlled molecular transport of weakly adsorbed molecules is demonstrated. Single sexiphenyl molecules adsorbed on a Ag(111) surface at 6 K are shot towards single…
The temperature-induced structural and electronic transformation in VO$_2$ between the monoclinic M1 and tetragonal rutile phases was studied by means of \textit{ab initio} molecular dynamics, based on density functional theory with Hubbard…
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) exhibit continuous property variations that enable unique functionalities and provide efficient platforms for systematic property optimization. Here, we report the fabrication of FGMs with graded…
Deterministic control of excitonic properties is key to advancing nanoscale optoelectronic and quantum technologies and to understanding diverse physical, optical, chemical, and biological phenomena. At the molecular scale, these properties…
Nanostructured metals subject to local optical interrogation can generate open-circuit photovoltages potentially useful for energy conversion and photodetection. We report a study of the photovoltage as a function of illumination position…
Low-energy atomic impacts on the Ag(110) surface are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations based on reliable many-body semiempirical potentials. Trajectory deflections (steering) caused by the atom-surface interaction are observed,…
We study the self-assembly of halogen-based organic molecules on a passivated silicon surface. The room temperature adsorption of 2,4,6-tris(4-iodophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TIPT) on the Si(111)-$\surd$3$\times$$\surd$3-Ag surface is…
Tin-phthalocyanine molecules adsorbed on a NaCl ultrathin film on Au(111) exhibit electrofluorescence excited by a current across a scanning tunneling microscope junction. Exploring the dependence of the molecular monomer photon yield on…
The evolution of titanyl-phthalocyanine (TiOPc) thin films on Ag(111) has been investigated using IRAS, SPA-LEED and STM. In the (sub)monolayer regime various phases are observed that can be assigned to a 2D gas, a commensurate and a…
Tailoring the nanomorphology of organic photoactive layers through a specialized chain of processing steps is an imperative challenge on the path towards reliable and performant organic electronic manufacturing. This hurdle generally proves…
Breathing transitions represent recently discovered adsorption-induced structural transformations between large-pore and narrow-pore conformations in bistable metal-organic frameworks, such as MIL-53. We present a multiscale physical…
A quantitative structural investigation is reported, aimed at resolving the issue of whether substrate adatoms are incorporated into the monolayers formed by strong molecular electron acceptors deposited onto metallic electrodes. A…
This paper is devoted to the study of photothermal transformations in multilayered structures. As a modelled sample, porous silicon with a periodic distribution of the porosity was chosen. The spatial distribution of the optical properties…
In-vivo, real-time study of the local and collective cellular biomechanical responses requires the fine and selective manipulation of the cellular environment. One innovative pathway is the use of photoactive bio-substrates such as…
Optical activation of material properties illustrates the potentials held by tuning light-matter interactions with impacts ranging from basic science to technological applications. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that composite…
We investigate the adsorption of a single tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) molecule on the silver (001) surface. Adsorption structures, electronic properties, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images are calculated within density-functional…
