报告简介：

The electronic and optical properties of inorganic systems as well as the reaction behavior of organic molecules strongly depend on their dimensionality and/or that of their environment. Thus, controlling the dimensionality as well as the bond order in 0D, 1D and 2D systems at the sub-nanometer scale, their physical properties may qualitatively deviate from that of 3D bulk materials of the same chemical composition. For example, materials such a graphene exhibit excellent mechanical and thermal properties as well as high 2D electronic mobility. However, in their unmodified state these Dirac systems are lacking a finite electronic band gap, required for generating transistors. Graphene nanoribbons, representing 1D systems, on the other hand, allowed to overcome this limitation by using bottom up on-surface chemistry to control the ribbon latitude and thus, the band gap. In contrast, in other 2D systems such as Chalcogenides, finite band gaps are found. However, it is still a technical challenge here to grow large-scale systems with well-defined geometry for application in opto-electronic device. Our recent STM investigations on phosphenes and antimonene using UHV epitaxial growth revealed promising perspectives in these directions [1].

In the case or organic molecules, surfaces represent 1D or 2D spatial confinements for on-surface chemistry allowing a unique regioselective and kinetic control of chemical reaction schemes which otherwise cannot be done in liquid- or gas phase chemistry. In addition, surfaces can act catalytically and by reconstruction or faceting, and the confinement can display one- or zero dimensional character. Advanced LT-UHV Scanning probe techniques (LT-STM, nc-AFM) allow a detailed sub-molecularly resolved analysis of the reaction pathways, including intermediates, while complementary PES techniques (XPS/UPS) reveal the chemical reaction status of molecular systems [2, 3]. A novel type of nc-AFM tip developed in our group allows us to quantitatively characterize individual chemical bonds and even their bond-order with unprecedented precision [4].

Finally, the construction of high performance functional organic opto-electronic devices, following the biological self-organization approach can be done bottom up by combining nanotechnological methods with chemistry. Self-assembled pre-patterned interface layers, for example, allow to grow functional molecular layers in OFET/OSC structures in a well-controlled way, resulting, for example, in a significant increase in charge carrier mobility by more than one order of magnitude, without modifying the chemical systems making up the active OFET channel structures [5]. Similarly, flexible organic photo responsive systems with ultrahigh detectivity can be generated [6].
