Investigation of two dimensional nanostructures from molecular self assembly on surfaces.

表面上分子的组合创建了具有特定预定义结构的新2D材料。这些结构的性质，然后使用扫描隧道显微镜（STM）和光谱研究。然后，这些结果用于进一步微调2D表面的结构。这项研究在纳米分子电子学中有应用，因为它研究了分子之间的电荷转移，并在信息存储中有潜在的应用。所使用的新方法是高分辨率低温STM和光谱学。这些技术可以解析分子的内部结构，并可以探测分子的电子状态。

The combination of molecules on a surface creates new 2D materials with particular predefined structures. The properties of these structures are then investigated using Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM) and Spectroscopy. These results are then used to further fine tune the structure of the 2D surface. The research has applications in nanoscale molecular electronics as it investigates the charge transfer between molecules and has potential applications in information storage. The novel approaches used are high resolution low temperature STM and spectroscopy. These techniques can resolve the internal structures of molecules and can probe the electronic states of the molecules.
