Electronic properties of model molecular electronics and catalyst

More about the book

Focusing on the electronic structures of adsorbed molecules, this book explores two key systems. The first involves phenyl diisocyanide molecules forming one-dimensional chains on a metal surface, leading to unique interfacial electronic properties that could enhance molecular conductors in nanoelectronics. The second system examines MoxSy clusters on an alumina film, revealing that increased cluster coverage raises the local work function due to electron tunneling, suggesting innovative modifications for the electronic structure and reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts.
