Swihart and Paras N. Prasad The use of nanoparticles in biological applications has been advancing toward applications in human cancer diagnosis and therapy. Upon functionalizing the nanoparticles...

Functionalizing of single molecules on surfaces has manifested great potential for bottom-up construction of complex devices on a molecular scale. We discuss the growth mechanism for the initial layers of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on metal surfaces and we review our recent progress on molecular machines, and present a molecular rotor with a fixed off-center axis formed by chemical bondin...

We report a molecular engineering study on optical, structural and electrical properties of seven silole derivates aiming at enhancing the balance of charge carrier in single-layer devices. By functionalizing two hole-transporting groups, dipyridylamine or anthracene, on the silole ring, we have investigated the influence of both entity types on the hole current. We have concluded that in contr...
