Spectroscopy of Single Molecules at Specific Sites on Surfaces

Hipps/华盛顿州在分析和表面化学项目的支持下，华盛顿州立大学的Hipps教授和他的同事们正在进一步开发新的光谱技术轨道介导的隧道光谱学（OMTS）。 这种方法，减少到实践中的希普斯，提供了基本的电子结构信息的单分子吸附在固体表面上。 酞菁、卟啉和多并苯吸附在金属和半导体衬底上的研究正在进行中。 这种位点特异性分子水平信息对于发展有机电子器件的操作的理解和设计原理的发展是至关重要的。 该研究项目为对这一重要的跨学科领域感兴趣的学生提供了一个很好的培训平台。华盛顿州立大学的希普斯小组的研究人员正在使用一种称为轨道介导隧道光谱学的新技术，一次一个分子地检查吸附的有机分子的电子特性。 从这些研究中获得的基本信息将有助于设计下一代分子电子器件。 这种跨学科的工作也作为一个很好的培训基地，为广泛的研究生和本科生。

AbstractCHE-0555696Hipps/Washington StateWith the support of the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, Professor Hipps and his colleagues at Washington State University are carrying out further development of the novel spectroscopic technique Orbital Mediated Tunneling Spectroscopy (OMTS). This method, reduced to practice by Hipps, provides fundamental electronic structure information about single molecules adsorbed on solid surfaces. Phthalocyanines, porphyrins, and polyacenes adsorbed on metal and semiconductor substrates are being examined. Such site specific molecular level information is crucial to developing an understanding of the operation, and the development of the design principles for, organic electronic devices. This research project provides an excellent training platform for students interested in this important interdisciplinary area. Researchers in the Hipps group at Washington State University are using a novel technique known as Orbital Mediated Tunneling Spectroscopy to examine the electronic properties of adsorbed organic molecules one molecule at a time. The fundamental information gained from these studies will help to design the next generation of molecular electronic devices. This interdisciplinary work also serves as an excellent training ground for a broad range of graduate and undergraduate students.
