AbstractCHE-0315165Frisbie/MinnesotaThis collaborative research project between Professor Frisbie and Professor Zhu at the University of Minnesota addresses the problem of metal-molecule contacts in molecular electronic devices. With the support of the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, Frisbie and Zhu and their coworkers are examining the electronic structure of metal molecule contacts using time resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy. The electronic structure of the contact is then correlated with its electron transport properties determined using conducting probe atomic force microscopy. Information from this fundamental study is useful in the understanding and further design of molecular electronic devices and nano-structures used in the electronics industry. Understanding the connection between the detailed electronic structure of a metal-molecule contact and its conductivity properties is the goal of the work of Professors Frisbie and Zhu at the University of Minnesota. Using photoemission spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy they are measuring these properties for a variety of model molecular electronics systems. Results of this work impact the growing field of molecular and nano-scale electronics.

Frisbie/Minnesota明尼苏达大学的Frisbie教授和朱教授的合作研究项目解决了分子电子器件中金属-分子接触的问题。 在分析和表面化学项目的支持下，Frisbie和Zhu及其同事正在使用时间分辨双光子光电子能谱研究金属分子接触的电子结构。 的电子结构的接触，然后与它的电子传输特性确定使用导电探针原子力显微镜。 从这个基础研究的信息是有用的，在理解和进一步设计的分子电子器件和纳米结构在电子工业中使用。了解金属分子接触的详细电子结构与其导电性能之间的联系是明尼苏达大学Frisbie和Zhu教授工作的目标。 利用光电子能谱和扫描探针显微镜，他们正在测量各种模型分子电子学系统的这些特性。 这项工作的结果影响了不断增长的分子和纳米尺度电子学领域。
