Abstract

Abstract : STM is emerging as a tool to elucidate and guide the use of self-assembled molecular systems in practical applications, including small molecule device engineering, molecular recognition and sensing and electronic modification of 2D materials. Abstract : Over the past two decades, solution/solid STM has made clear contributions to our fundamental understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic processes that occur in molecular self-assembly at surfaces. As the field matures, we provide an overview of how solution/solid STM is emerging as a tool to elucidate and guide the use of self-assembled molecular systems in practical applications, focusing on small molecule device engineering, molecular recognition and sensing and electronic modification of 2D materials.
