Journal Article
Klein, B. P., Stoodley, M. A., Edmondson, M., Rochford, L. A., Walker, M., Sattler, L., …Duncan, D. A. (2022). Using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for graphene growth on Cu(111) under ultra-high vacuum. Applied Physics Letters, 121(19), Article 191603. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0122914

Ultra-high vacuum deposition of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons azupyrene and pyrene onto a Cu(111) surface held at a temperature of 1000 K is herein shown to result in the formation of graphene. The presence of graphene was proven using scannin... Read More about Using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for graphene growth on Cu(111) under ultra-high vacuum.

Bending a photonic wire into a ring (2022)
Journal Article
Gotfredsen, H., Deng, J. R., Van Raden, J. M., Righetto, M., Hergenhahn, J., Clarke, M., …Anderson, H. L. (2022). Bending a photonic wire into a ring. Nature Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41557-022-01032-w

Natural light-harvesting systems absorb sunlight and transfer its energy to the reaction centre, where it is used for photosynthesis. Synthetic chromophore arrays provide useful models for understanding energy migration in these systems. Research has... Read More about Bending a photonic wire into a ring.

Molecular Diffusion and Self-Assembly: Quantifying the Influence of Substrate hcp and fcc Atomic Stacking (2022)
Journal Article

Molecular diffusion is a fundamental process underpinning surface-confined molecular self-assembly and synthesis. Substrate topography influences molecular assembly, alignment, and reactions with the relationship between topography and diffusion link...

Order, disorder, and metalation of tetraphenylporphyrin (2H-TPP) on Au(111) (2022)
Journal Article
Edmondson, M., Frampton, E. S., Judd, C. J., Champness, N. R., Jones, R. G., & Saywell, A. (2022). Order, disorder, and metalation of tetraphenylporphyrin (2H-TPP) on Au(111). Chemical Communications, 58(42), 6247–6250. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2cc00820c

A thermally induced order–disorder transition of tetraphenylporphyrin (2H-TPP) on Au(111) is characterised by scanning probe microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy-based techniques. We observed that a transition from an ordered close-packed... Read More about Order, disorder, and metalation of tetraphenylporphyrin (2H-TPP) on Au(111).
