Emergence of π-Magnetism in Fused Aza-Triangulenes: Symmetry and Charge Transfer Effects
Jan Patrick Calupitan, Alejandro Berdonces-Layunta, Fernando Aguilar-Galindo +6
On-surface synthesis has paved the way towards the fabrication and characterization of conjugated carbon-based molecular materials that exhibit π-magnetism such as triangulenes. Az…
Detecting the spin-polarization of edge states in graphene nanoribbons
Jens Brede, Nestor Merino-Díez, Alejandro Berdonces +9
Low dimensional carbon-based materials are interesting because they can show intrinsic -magnetism associated to p-electrons residing in specific open-shell configurations. Conse…
Ba ion trapping by organic submonolayer: towards an ultra-low background neutrinoless double beta decay detector
P. Herrero-Gómez, J. P. Calupitan, M. Ilyn +112
If neutrinos are their own antiparticles, the otherwise-forbidden nuclear reaction known as neutrinoless double beta decay () can occur, with a characteristic lifetime which…
Aza-Triangulene: On-Surface Synthesis, Electronic and Magnetic Properties
Tao Wang, Alejandro Berdonces-Layunta, Niklas Friedrich +7
Nitrogen heteroatom doping into a triangulene molecule allows tuning its magnetic state. However, the synthesis of the nitrogen-doped triangulene (aza-triangulene) has been challen…
Magnetic Interactions Between Radical Pairs in Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons
Tao Wang, Sofia Sanz, Jesús Castro-Esteban +8
Magnetic graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have become promising candidates for future applications, including quantum technologies. Here, we characterize magnetic states hosted by chira…
Order from a mess: the growth of 5-armchair graphene nanoribbons
Alejandro Berdonces-Layunta, Fabian Schulz, Fernando Aguilar-Galindo +6
The advent of on-surface chemistry under vacuum has vastly increased our capabilities to synthesize carbon-nanomaterials with atomic precision. Among the types of target structures…
Circumventing the Stability Problems of Graphene Nanoribbon Zigzag Edges
James Lawrence, Alejandro Berdonces-Layunta, Shayan Edalatmanesh +7
Carbon nanostructures with zigzag edges exhibit unique properties with exciting potential applications. Such nanostructures are generally synthesized under vacuum because their zig…
A Large Starphene Comprising Pentacene Branches
Jan Holec, Beatrice Cogliati, James Lawrence +9
Starphenes are attractive compounds due to their characteristic physicochemical properties that are inherited from acenes, making them interesting compounds for organic electronics…
Transferring Axial Molecular Chirality Through a Sequence of On-Surface Reactions
Néstor Merino-Díez, Mohammed S. G. Mohammed, Jesús Castro-Esteban +6
Fine management of chiral processes on solid surfaces has progressed over the years, yet still faces the need for the controlled and selective production of advanced chiral materia…
Hierarchy in the halogen activation during surface-promoted Ullmann coupling
Néstor Merino-Díez, Alejandro Pérez Paz, Jingcheng Li +9
Within the collection of surface-supported reactions currently accessible for the production of extended molecular nanostructures under ultra-high vacuum, Ullmann coupling has been…
Probing the magnetism of topological end-states in 5-armchair graphene nanoribbons
James Lawrence, Pedro Brandimarte, Alejandro Berdonces +5
We extensively characterize the electronic structure of ultra-narrow graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with armchair edges and zig-zag termini that have 5 carbon atoms across their width…
