Article Synopsis
- The surface of semiconductor materials, particularly at the nanoscale, significantly influences their properties due to a higher surface-to-bulk ratio.
- The study investigates how adding a single thiol functional group affects the electronic and optical properties of hydrogen-passivated nanodiamond adamantane, revealing notable changes.
- The addition of the thiol group lowers the optical gap by about 0.6 eV compared to pure adamantane, resulting in quenching of UV luminescence while maintaining the diamondoid's negative electron affinity.
Interfaces are crucial to material properties. In the case of covalent organic monolayers on silicon, molecular structure at the interface controls the self-assembly of the monolayers, which in turn influences the optical properties and electrical transport. These properties intrinsically affect their application in biology, tribology, optics, and electronics.
