Magnetic properties of surface-adsorbed single rare earth atoms, molecules, and atomic scale clusters

This thesis presents combined experimental and theoretical investigations of nanoscale, surface-supported magnets based on rare earths (RE) to understand and control the magnetic properties down to the scale of single atoms. We present the effects of adato ...

Atomic Scale Observation of Chemical and Electronic Properties of Metal-Oxide Surfaces

Christian Alexander Stephan Dette

To meet the future global energy demand - an estimated additional 10 terawatts (TWs) per year in 2050 - a diversification of energy sources and fuels is needed. Solar energy represents a prominent alternative energy source. An important material for these ...

Dynamics of Spatially Confined Bisphenol A Trimers in a Unimolecular Network on Ag(111)

Katharina Johanna Diller

Bisphenol A (BPA) aggregates on Ag(111) shows a polymorphism between two supramolecular motifs leading to formation of distinct networks depending on thermal energy. With rising temperature a dimeric pairing scheme reversibly converts into a trimeric motif ...

Thiol Adsorption on the Au(100)-hex and Au(100)-(1 X 1) Surfaces

Klaus Kern

Alkanethiol adsorption on the Au(100) surfaces is studied by using scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Adsorption of hexanethiol (HT) on the Au(100)-hex surface results in the formation of elonga ...

Characterizing and Understanding Divalent Adsorbates on Carbon Nanotubes with Ab Initio and Classical Approaches: Size, Chirality, and Coverage Effects

Wanda Andreoni, Fabio Pietrucci, Alessandro Curioni

The study of oxygen chemisorption on single-walled carbon nanotubes generally relies on simple atomistic models and hence hampers the possibility to understand whether nanotube size or adduct concentration have a role in determining the surface adsorbate i ...

State of the Art in Surface Reconstruction from Point Clouds

Andrea Tagliasacchi

The area of surface reconstruction has seen substantial progress in the past two decades. The traditional problem addressed by surface reconstruction is to recover the digital representation of a physical shape that has been scanned, where the scanned data ...

Conductive Gold Nanoparticle Mirrors at Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Frédéric Gumy, Véronique Amstutz, Dmitry Momotenko, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Haiqiang Deng, Pingping Fang

Gold nanoparticle (Au NP) mirrors, that exhibit both high reflectance and electrical conductance, were self-assembled at a [heptane + 1,2-dichloroethane]/water liquid/liquid interface. The highest reflectance, as observed experimentally and confirmed by fi ...

Sparse Iterative Closest Point

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Andrea Tagliasacchi

Rigid registration of two geometric data sets is essential in many applications, including robot navigation, surface reconstruction, and shape matching. Most commonly, variants of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm are employed for this task. Thes ...
