Nanoscale Pits as Templates for Building a Molecular Device

Nanoscale Pits as Templates for Building a Molecular Device

Nanometer‐scale rectangular pits in an insulating surface are used to template the growth of gold and PTCDA, a planar aromatic molecule (see image). The potential of this approach for constructing a molecular electronic device under the controlled conditions of ultrahigh vacuum is discussed.
