Mechano-chemical manipulation of Sn chains on Si(1 0 0) by NC-AFM (2016)
Journal Article
Sweetman, A., Lekkas, I., & Moriarty, P. (2016). Mechano-chemical manipulation of Sn chains on Si(1 0 0) by NC-AFM. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 29(7), Article 074003. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-648X/29/7/074003

We investigate the atomic structure of Sn dimer chains grown on the Si(1 0 0) surface using non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) at cryogenic temperatures. We find that similar to the native Si(1 0 0) dimer structure, the ground state of the... Read More about Mechano-chemical manipulation of Sn chains on Si(1 0 0) by NC-AFM.

Measuring the reactivity of a silicon-terminated probe (2016)
Journal Article
Sweetman, A., Stirling, J., Jarvis, S. P., Rahe, P., & Moriarty, P. (2016). Measuring the reactivity of a silicon-terminated probe. Physical Review B, 94(11), Article 115440. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.94.115440

It is generally accepted that the exposed surfaces of silicon crystals are highly reactive due to the dangling bonds which protrude into the vacuum. However, surface reconstruction can not only modify the reactivity of bulk silicon crystals, but play... Read More about Measuring the reactivity of a silicon-terminated probe.

A combined Monte Carlo and Hückel theory simulation of orientational ordering in C60 assemblies (2016)
Journal Article
Leaf, J., Stannard, A., Jarvis, S. P., Moriarty, P., & Dunn, J. L. (2016). A combined Monte Carlo and Hückel theory simulation of orientational ordering in C60 assemblies. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 120(15), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.6b00638

Orientational ordering of C60 molecules within monolayer and multilayer islands is a regularly observed phenomenon in scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) studies. Here we simulate the orientational ordering seen in STM images via a novel combination...

Visualizing the orientational dependence of an intermolecular potential (2016)
Journal Article
Jarvis, S. P., Rashid, M. A., Sweetman, A., Rashid, M. A., Jarvis, S. P., Dunn, J. L., …Moriarty, P. (2016). Visualizing the orientational dependence of an intermolecular potential. Nature Communications, 7, Article 10621. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms10621

Scanning probe microscopy can now be used to map the properties of single molecules with intramolecular precision by functionalization of the apex of the scanning probe tip with a single atom or molecule. Here we report on the mapping of the three-di... Read More about Visualizing the orientational dependence of an intermolecular potential.
