We hope to create a set of nanoscale molecular building blocks, consisting of single molecule pistons, levers, gears, bearings and other structures, that can be assembled into functional nanoscale mechanical devices. Further, we would like for the machines to be responsive to light or electric fields both in order to be able to control their op… text/html 2012-01-24T16:41:55-07:00 Ivan Pechenezhskiy http://physics.berkeley.edu/research/crommie/publications?rev=1327452115&do=diff Array Self-Assembly and Photomechanical Switching of an Azobenzene Derivative on GaAs(110): Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Study I.

In particular, we are exploring monolayer graphene grown by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) created by unzipping nanotubes or by molecular precursors. Graphene is a two dimensional material formed by carbon atoms sp2 bonded together in a honeycomb lattice. text/html 2012-01-20T23:35:45-07:00 Dillon Wong http://physics.berkeley.edu/research/crommie/research?rev=1327131345&do=diff Our research interests lie in exploring the local electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of atomic and molecular structures at surfaces. We are interested in studying how local interactions between atomic-scale structures affect their microscopic behavior, and how quantum mechanical effects might influence nanodevice behavior in very small structures. Our main experimental tool is scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), which we use in combination with other experimental tools to both fabr…
