Triplet Excitation and Electroluminescence from a Supramolecular Monolayer Embedded in a Boron Nitride Tunnel Barrier (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 American Chemical Society. We show that ordered monolayers of organic molecules stabilized by hydrogen bonding on the surface of exfoliated few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) flakes may be incorporated into van der Waals heterostructures...

AIRBED: a simpli?ed density functional theory model for physisorption on surfaces (2019)
Journal Article

Dispersion interactions are commonly included in density functional theory (DFT) calculations through the addition of an empirical correction. In this study, a modi?cation is made to the damping function in DFT-D2 calculations, to describe repulsion...

Epitaxial multilayers of alkanes on two-dimensional black phosphorus as passivating and electrically insulating nanostructures (2019)
Journal Article

© The Royal Society of Chemistry. Mechanically exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus (bP) is epitaxially terminated by monolayers and multilayers of tetracosane, a linear alkane, to form a weakly interacting van der Waals heterostructure....

Ordering, Flexibility and Frustration in Arrays of Porphyrin Nanorings (2019)
Journal Article

The regular packing of atoms, molecules and nanoparticles provides the basis for the understanding of structural order within condensed phases of matter. Typically the constituent particles are considered to be rigid with a fixed shape. Here we show,... Read More about Ordering, Flexibility and Frustration in Arrays of Porphyrin Nanorings.

Direct band-gap crossover in epitaxial monolayer boron nitride (2019)
Journal Article

Hexagonal boron nitride is a large band-gap insulating material which complements the electronic and optical properties of graphene and the transition metal dichalcogenides. However, the intrinsic optical properties of monolayer boron nitride remain... Read More about Direct band-gap crossover in epitaxial monolayer boron nitride.

Two-Dimensional Diffusion of Excitons in a Perylene Diimide Monolayer Quenched by a Fullerene Heterojunction (2019)
Journal Article

The structural and functional properties of organic heterojunctions play a vitally important role in the operation of organic devices, but their properties are difficult to measure directly due to the buried interfaces which are typically formed. We... Read More about Two-Dimensional Diffusion of Excitons in a Perylene Diimide Monolayer Quenched by a Fullerene Heterojunction.

Ultra-high resolution imaging of thin films and single strands of polythiophene using atomic force microscopy (2019)
Journal Article

Real-space images of polymers with sub-molecular resolution could provide valuable insights into the relationship between morphology and functionality of polymer optoelectronic devices, but their acquisition is problematic due to perceived limitation...
