Mapping the force field of a hydrogen-bonded assembly (2014)
Journal Article
Sweetman, A., Jarvis, S. P., Sang, H., Lekkas, I., Rahe, P., Wang, Y., …Moriarty, P. (2020). Mapping the force field of a hydrogen-bonded assembly. Nature Communications, 5, Article 3931. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms4931

Hydrogen bonding underpins the properties of a vast array of systems spanning a wide variety of scientific fields. From the elegance of base pair interactions in DNA to the symmetry of extended supramolecular assemblies, hydrogen bonds play an essent...

Scanning probe image wizard: a toolbox for automated scanning probe microscopy data analysis (2013)
Journal Article
Stirling, J., Woolley, R., & Moriarty, P. (2013). Scanning probe image wizard: a toolbox for automated scanning probe microscopy data analysis. Review of Scientific Instruments, 84(113701), Article 113701. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4827076

We describe SPIW (scanning probe image wizard), a new image processing toolbox for SPM (scanning probe microscope) images. SPIW can be used to automate many aspects of SPM data analysis, even for images with surface contamination and step edges prese...

Fingering Instabilities in Dewetting Nanofluids (2008)
Journal Article
Pauliac-Vaujour, E., Stannard, A., Martin, C., Blunt, M., Notingher, I., Moriarty, P., …Thiele, U. (2008). Fingering Instabilities in Dewetting Nanofluids. Physical Review Letters, 100,

The growth of fingering patterns in dewetting nanofluids (colloidal solutions of thiol-passivated gold nanoparticles) has been followed in real time using contrast-enhanced video microscopy. The fingering instability on which we focus here arises fro... Read More about Fingering Instabilities in Dewetting Nanofluids.

Anisotropic Assembly of Colloidal Nanoparticles: Exploiting Substrate Crystallinity (2007)
Journal Article
Hayton, J., Pauliac-Vaujour, E., & Moriarty, P. (2007). Anisotropic Assembly of Colloidal Nanoparticles: Exploiting Substrate Crystallinity. NANO, 2(6), https://doi.org/10.1142/S1793292007000714

We show that the crystal structure of a substrate can be exploited to drive the anisotropic assembly of colloidal nanoparticles. Pentanethiol-passivated Au particles of approximately 2 nm diameter deposited from toluene onto hydrogen-passivated Si(11...

Controlling Pattern Formation in Nanoparticle Assemblies via Directed Solvent Dewetting (2007)
Journal Article
Martin, C., Blunt, M., Pauliac-Vaujour, E., Stannard, A., Moriarty, P., Vancea, I., & Thiele, U. (2007). Controlling Pattern Formation in Nanoparticle Assemblies via Directed Solvent Dewetting. Physical Review Letters, 99,

We have achieved highly localised control of pattern formation in two dimensional nanoparticle assemblies by direct modification of solvent dewetting dynamics. A striking dependence of nanoparticle organisation on the size of atomic force microscope-... Read More about Controlling Pattern Formation in Nanoparticle Assemblies via Directed Solvent Dewetting.

Nanotechnology: radical new science or plus ça change? (2005)
Journal Article
Moriarty, P. (2005). Nanotechnology: radical new science or plus ça change?. Nanotechnology Perceptions, 1,

Is a radical nanotechnology involving the construction of macroscopic products via software-directed manipulation of single molecules possible? Are we only a few decades
away from a technological utopia where virtually any product may be constructed... Read More about Nanotechnology: radical new science or plus ça change?.
