Supramolecular assemblies have attracted great attention in the latest studies of molecular electronic devices for their superiorities. Here, we design a non-covalent [π⋯π] dimer made of DCV4Ts (two-terminally dicyanovinyl-substituted quaterthiophenes), and five typical conformations of this dimer are specifically focused on. Based on density-functional theory calculations and the non-equilibrium Green's function technique, electron transport properties through the dimer are mainly investigated in molecular junctions.

Dangling bonds (DBs) are common defects in silicon that affect its electronic performance by trapping carriers at the in-gap levels. For probing the electrical properties of individual DBs, a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is an effective instrument. Here we study transitions between charge states of a single DB on chlorinated and brominated Si(100)-2 × 1 surfaces in an STM.

The hybrid ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructures have attracted extensive attention as they potentially host topological superconductivity. Relevant experimental signatures have recently been reported in CrBr/NbSe ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructure, but controversies remain. Here, we reinvestigate CrBr/NbSe by an ultralow temperature scanning tunneling microscope with higher spatial and energy resolutions.

Chemical groups capable of connecting molecules physically and electrically between electrodes are of critical importance in molecular-scale electronics, influencing junction conductance, variability, and function. While the development of such linkage chemistries has focused on interactions at gold, the distinct reactivity and electronic structure of other electrode metals provides underexplored opportunities to characterize and exploit new binding motifs. In this work we show that α,ω-alkanedibromides spontaneously form well-defined junctions using silver, but not gold, electrodes through application of the glovebox-based scanning tunneling microscope-based break junction method.

Plasmonic nanoantennas have attracted much attention lately, among other reasons because of the directionality of light emitted by fluorophores coupled to their localized surface plasmon resonances. Plasmonic picocavities, i.e.
