Spectroscopic Determination of Site-Selective Ligand Binding on Single Anisotropic Nanocrystals
Dong Le, Wade Shipley, Alexandria Do +17
Organic surface ligands are integral components of nanocrystals and nanoparticles that have a strong influence on their physicochemical properties, their interaction with the envir…
Single-Molecule Vibrational Characterization of Binding Geometry Effects on Isocyanide-Metal Interactions
Liya Bi, Zhe Wang, Krista Balto +5
Isocyanide-metal binding is governed by sigma-donation and pi-back-bonding, which affects the energy of the isocyanide stretching mode-a characteristic probe for ligand-metal inter…
An Economical and Efficient Helium Recovery System for Vibration-Sensitive Applications
Zhiyuan Yin, Liya Bi, Yueqing Shi +1
We present the design of a helium liquefaction system tailored to efficiently recover helium vapor from either an individual or a small cluster of vibration-sensitive cryogenic ins…
Operating a Multi-Level Molecular Dimer Switch through Precise Tip-Molecule Control
Yueqing Shi, Weike Quan, Liya Bi +6
Controlling structural transitions between molecular configurations is crucial for advancing functional molecular electronics. While reversible switching of bistable two-state mole…
Nano-Scale Manipulation of Single-Molecule Conformational Transition Through Vibrational Excitation
Weike Quan, Zihao Wang, Yueqing Shi +6
On-demand control of molecular actions is essential for realizing single-molecule functional devices. Such a control can be achieved by manipulating interactions between individual…
