Engineering Two Dimensional Crystals

密歇根大学化学系的Matzger教授和他的同事正在通过研究吸附在平面衬底上的有机分子的结构来系统地了解液-固界面上的自组装。使用扫描隧道显微镜结合明智地选择(或合成)分子吸附物，他们正在探索广泛的二维结晶主题。在分析和表面化学计划的支持下，这些结构研究的结果，结合文献中的工作，将产生一个公共的二维结晶学数据库，供广泛的研究人员使用。对自组装的基本了解将对从分子电子学到缓蚀策略的一系列技术产生影响。Matzger教授和他的同事正在研究二维晶体结构，以加深对大分子结构在液-固界面上自组装的理解。这项工作的预期成果是建立一个对新的和现有的结构进行分类和分类的数据库。对自组装过程的基本理解将影响广泛的重要技术。

AbstractCHE-0616487Matzger/MichiganProfessor Matzger and his coworkers in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan, are developing a systematic understanding of self-assembly at the liquid-solid interface by examining the structures of organic molecules adsorbed on planar substrates. Using scanning tunneling microscopy coupled with judicious choice (or synthesis) of molecular adsorbate, they are probing a wide range of two-dimensional crystallization motifs. With the support of the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, the results of these structural studies, combined with work in the literature, will result in a public two dimensional crystallographic data base of use to a broad range of researchers. The fundamental understanding of self-assembly will have impact on a range of technologies, from molecular electronics to corrosion inhibition strategies. Two dimensional crystal structures are being examined by Professor Matzger and his coworkers, in order to develop an understanding of the self-assembly of large molecule structures at the liquid-solid interface. A data base categorizing and classifying new and existent structures is an expected output of this work. A fundamental understanding of the process of self-assembly will impact a broad range of important technologies.
