Bottom-Up Self-Assembled Supramolecular Structures Built by STM at the Solid/Liquid Interface

Bottom-Up Self-Assembled Supramolecular Structures Built by STM at the Solid/Liquid Interface

One of the lines of research on organic devices is focused on their miniaturization to obtain denser and faster electronic circuits. The challenge is to build devices adding atom by atom or molecule by molecule until the desired structures are achieved. To do this job, techniques able to see and man...
