New ways of controlling and analyzing organic reactions on silicon surfaces – Publications by A8 (Koert/Dürr) & B5 (Höfer/Mette) and A6 (Tonner)

In a joint effort, the groups of SFB-projects A8 and B5 used scanning tunneling microscopy for controlling the final products of a textbook-type reaction of organic molecules on silicon surfaces. A detailed understanding of the driving forces of these reactions are obtained by means of energy decomposition analysis as developed […]

Molecular topology critically controls metal-organic interfaces in electronic devices – Publication by A4 (Gottfried), A6 (Tonner), & A12 (Tautz/Bocquet/Kumpf)

In organic electronic devices, such as modern displays with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic materials connect to metal electrodes. The resulting metal–organic interfaces, which are in the focus of SFB 1083, determine important performance parameters such as rates of charge-carrier injection. Precise control over the interface properties, especially the wave-function […]
