Reversible Photomechanical Switching of Individual Engineered Molecules at a Surface
Matthew J. Comstock, Niv Levy, Armen Kirakosian +8
We have observed reversible light-induced mechanical switching for a single organic molecule bound to a metal surface. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to image the fea…

Gd disilicide nanowires attached to Si(111) steps
J. L. McChesney, A. Kirakosian, R. Bennewitza +3
Self-assembled electronic devices, such as quantum dots or switchable molecules, need self-assembled nanowires as connections. We explore the growth of conducting Gd disilicide nan…

Atomic Scale Memory at a Silicon Surface
R. Bennewitz, J. N. Crain, A. Kirakosian +4
The limits of pushing storage density to the atomic scale are explored with a memory that stores a bit by the presence or absence of one silicon atom. These atoms are positioned at…
