The magnetic state and magnetic coupling of individual atoms in nanoscale structures relies on a delicate balance between different interactions with the atomic-scale surrounding. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we resolve the self-assembled formation of highly ordered bilayer structures of Fe atoms and organic linker molecules (T4PT) when deposited on a Au(111) surface. The Fe atoms are encaged in a three-dimensional coordination motif by three T4PT molecules in the surface plane and an additional T4PT unit on top. Within this crystal field, the Fe atoms retain a magnetic ground state with easy-axis anisotropy, as evidenced by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. The magnetization curves reveal the existence of ferromagnetic coupling between the Fe centers.

We report an easy and broadly applicable method for the controlled self-assembly of atomically precise Au32(nBu3P)12Cl8 nanoclusters into micro-crystals. This enables the determination of emergent optoelectronic properties resulting from long-range o
rder in such assemblies. Compared to the same nanoclusters in glassy, polycrystalline ensembles, we find a 100-fold increase in the electric conductivity and charge carrier mobility as well as additional optical transitions. We show that these effects are due to a vanishing energetic disorder and a drastically reduced activation energy to charge transport in the highly ordered assemblies. This first structure-transport correlation on self-assembled superstructures of atomically precise gold nanoclusters paves the way towards functional materials with novel collective optoelectronic properties.
We have fabricated a lateral double barrier magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) which consists of a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot (QD) with ferromagnetic Co leads. The MTJ shows clear hysteretic tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effect, which is evi
dence for spin transport through a single semiconductor QD. The TMR ratio and the curve shapes are varied by changing the gate voltage.
Guanine-quadruplex, consisting of several stacked guanine-quartets (GQs), has emerged as an important category of novel molecular targets with applications from nanoelectronic devices to anticancer drugs. Incorporation of metal cations into GQ struct
ure is utilized to form stable G-quadruplexes, while no other passage has been reported yet. Here we report the room temperature (RT) molecular self-assembly of extensive metal-free GQ networks on Au(111) surface. Surface defect induced by an implanted molybdenum atom within Au(111) surface is used to nucleate and stabilize the cation-free GQ network. Additionally, the decorated Au(111) surface with 7-armchair graphene nanoribbons (7-AGNRs) results in more extensive GQ networks by curing the disordered phase nucleated from Au step edges spatially and chemically. Scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm GQ networks formation and unravel the nucleation and growth mechanism. This method stimulates cation-free G-quartet network formation at RT and can lead to stabilizing new emerging molecular self-assembly.
Pinning single molecules at desired positions can provide opportunities to fabricate bottom-up designed molecular machines. Using the combined approach of scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory, we report on tip-induced anchoring
of Niphthalocyanine molecules on an Au(111) substrate. We demonstrate that the tip-induced current leads to the dehydrogenation of a benzene-like ligand in the molecule, which subsequently creates chemical bonds between the molecule and the substrate. It is also found that the diffusivity of Ni-phthalocyanine molecules is dramatically reduced when the molecules are anchored on the Au adatoms produced by bias pulsing. The tip-induced molecular anchoring would be readily applicable to other functional molecules that contain similar ligands.
Mn has been found to self-assemble into atomic chains running perpendicular to the surface dimer reconstruction on Si(001). They differ from other atomic chains by a striking asymmetric appearance in filled state scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) i
mages. This has prompted complicated structural models involving up to three Mn atoms per chain unit. Combining STM, atomic force microscopy and density functional theory we find that a simple necklace-like chain of single Mn atoms reproduces all their prominent features, including their asymmetry not captured by current models. The upshot is a remarkably simpler structure for modelling the electronic and magnetic properties of Mn atom chains on Si(001).
