Intermolecular artifacts in probe microscope images of C60 assemblies (2015)
Journal Article
Jarvis, S. P., Rashid, M. A., Sweetman, A., Leaf, J., Taylor, S., Moriarty, P., & Dunn, J. (2015). Intermolecular artifacts in probe microscope images of C60 assemblies. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 92(24), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.92.241405

Claims that dynamic force microscopy has the capability to resolve intermolecular bonds in real space continue to be vigorously debated. To date, studies have been restricted to planar molecular assemblies with small separations between neighboring m...

Physisorption controls the conformation and density of states of an adsorbed porphyrin (2015)
Journal Article
Jarvis, S. P., Taylor, S., Baran, J. D., Thompson, D., Saywell, A., Mangham, B., …Moriarty, P. (2015). Physisorption controls the conformation and density of states of an adsorbed porphyrin. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 119(50), 27982-27994. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.5b08350

Conformational changes caused by adsorption can dramatically affect a molecule’s properties. Despite extensive study, however, the exact mechanisms underpinning conformational switching are often unclear. Here we show that the conformation of a proto...

Measuring the mechanical properties of molecular conformers (2015)
Journal Article
Jarvis, S. P., Taylor, S., Baran, J., Champness, N. R., Larsson, J., & Moriarty, P. (2015). Measuring the mechanical properties of molecular conformers. Nature Communications, 6(8338), https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9338

Scanning probe-actuated single molecule manipulation has proven to be an exceptionally powerful tool for the systematic atomic-scale interrogation of molecular adsorbates. To date, however, the extent to which molecular conformation affects the force... Read More about Measuring the mechanical properties of molecular conformers.

Nano-contact microscopy of supracrystals (2015)
Journal Article
Sweetman, A., Goubet, N., Lekkas, I., Pileni, M. P., & Moriarty, P. (2015). Nano-contact microscopy of supracrystals. Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 6, https://doi.org/10.3762/bjnano.6.126

Background: Highly ordered three-dimensional colloidal crystals (supracrystals) comprised of 7.4 nm diameter Au nanocrystals (with a 5% size dispersion) have been imaged and analysed using a combination of scanning tunnelling microscopy and dynamic f...
