Codeposition of two molecular species [CuPc (donor) and PFP (acceptor)] on noble metal (111) surfaces leads to the self-assembly of an ordered mixed layer with maximized donor-acceptor contact area. The main driving force behind this arrangement is assumed to be the intermolecular C-F...H-C hydrogen-bond interactions. Such interactions would be maximized for a coplanar molecular arrangement. However, precise measurement of molecule-substrate distances in the molecular mixture reveals significantly larger adsorption heights for PFP than for CuPc. Most surprisingly, instead of leveling to increase hydrogen bond interactions, the height difference is enhanced in mixed layers as compared to the heights found in single component CuPc and PFP layers, resulting in an overall reduced interaction with the underlying substrate. The influence of the increased height of PFP on the interface dipole is investigated through work function measurements.

It is proposed that primary nucleation of amorphous microspherulites of hydrated silica in natural proto-precious-opal can be followed by a long range superlattice ordering process by means of electrostatic self-assembly. Necessary conditions in the
thermodynamics are a high surface charge density on microspherulite surfaces, a long Debye length and an appropriate number density of nucleation centres. A further chemical requirement is a high alkaline environmental pH from 9 to 10. It is also proposed that the characteristic concentric spherical shell-like structure of spherulites, centred on primary nuclei, are due to sequential deposition of intrinsic salts which precipitate out when the corresponding solubility limits in the liquid are successively exceeded. It can be that the better-known sedimentation of microspherulites under gravity only plays part in the final stabilization period of overall growth.
We model self-assembly of information in networks to investigate necessary conditions for building a global perception of a system by local communication. Our approach is to let agents chat in a model system to self-organize distant communication-pat
hways. We demonstrate that simple local rules allow agents to build a perception of the system, that is robust to dynamical changes and mistakes. We find that messages are most effectively forwarded in the presence of hubs, while transmission in hub-free networks is more robust against misinformation and failures.
Static and dynamic changes induced by adsorption of atomic hydrogen on the NiAl(110) lattice at 130 K have been examined as a function of adsorbate coverage. Adsorbed hydrogen exists in three distinct phases. At low coverages the hydrogen is itineran
t because of quantum tunneling between sites and exhibits no observable vibrational modes. Between 0.4 ML and 0.6 ML, substrate mediated interactions produce an ordered superstructure with c(2x2) symmetry, and at higher coverages, hydrogen exists as a disordered lattice gas. This picture of how hydrogen interacts with NiAl(110) is developed from our data and compared to current theoretical predictions.
Efficient coupling between solid state quantum emitters and plasmonic waveguides is important for the realization of integrated circuits for quantum information, communication and sensing. However, realization of plasmonic circuits is still scarce, p
articularly due to challenges associated with accurate positioning of quantum emitters near plasmonic resonators. Current pathways for the construction of plasmonic circuits involve cumbersome and costly methods such as scanning atomic force microscopy or mechanical manipulation, where individual elements are physically relocated using the scanning tip. Here, we introduce a simple, fast and cost effective chemical self-assembly method for the attachment of two primary components of a practical plasmonic circuit: a single photon emitter and a waveguide. Our method enables coupling of nanodiamonds with a single quantum emitter (the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center) onto the terminal of a silver nanowire, by simply varying the concentration of ascorbic acid (AA) in a reaction solution. The AA concentration is used to control the extent of agglomeration, and can be optimised so as to cause preferential, selective activation of the tips of the nanowires. The nanowire-nanodiamond structures show efficient plasmonic coupling of fluorescence emission from single NV centers into surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes, evidenced by a more than two-fold reduction in fluorescence lifetime and an increase in fluorescence intensity.
We report the fabrication of self-assembled, strain-free GaAs/Al$_{0.27}$Ga$_{0.73}$As quantum dot pairs which are laterally aligned in the growth plane, utilizing the droplet epitaxy technique and the anisotropic surface potentials of the GaAs (100)
surface for the migration of Ga adatoms. Photoluminescence spectra from a single quantum dot pair, consisting of a doublet, have been observed. Finite element energy level calculations of a model quantum dot pair are also presented.
