Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) is used for single-molecule detection from spatially resolved 1-mum(2) sections of a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer deposited onto a Ag film. The target molecule, his ...

Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) is used for single-molecule detection from spatially resolved 1-mum(2) sections of a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer deposited onto a Ag film. The target molecule, his ...

In this work we employ the state of the art pseudopotential method, within a generalized gradient approximation to the density functional theory, to investigate the adsorption process of benzenethiol and diphenyl disulfide ...

We provide a systematic ab initio study on the adsorption of 2-thiophene curcuminoid (2-thphCCM) molecules on a Au(111) surface. In this work we present the determination of the optimal configuration of a single molecule ...

We investigated the formation of self-assembled monolayers of two thiophene curcuminoid molecules, 2-thphCCM (1) and 3-thphCCM (2), on polycrystalline gold substrates prepared by immersion of the surfaces in a solution of ...

We study the behavior of chiral molecules adsorbed on clean metallic surfaces using a lattice-gas model and Monte Carlo simulation. The aim is to model and simulate the structure (footprints and organization) formed by ...

Density functional theory (PBE+U), including the van der Waals interaction, has been used to study the adsorption of four triatomic molecules with two oxygen atoms in the ends, on the V2O5(001) surface. The most stable ...

Exposure of materials to blood can result in numerous interactions such as plasma protein adsorption, blood cell activation, platelet adhesion, and thrombotic reactions. Although strategies to minimize the blood-immune ...
