Nanometer-scale Electronics and Storage Molecular electronics . Isolating single polymer molecules . Ferroelectric storage . Surface Interactions Mobile molecules seek favorable electronic environments . Atoms, molecules, and surface features perturb the surrounding substrate electronic structure .
Molecules interact through the substrate.
This can enhance reactivity or selectivity . Directing assembly to mix or to separate molecules in monolayer films . Depositing molecules selectively or in patterns . Surface Motion, Dynamics, and Direct Manipulation Discovering new roles for catalytic promoters. Following the diffusion of atoms and molecules on surfaces.
