“Self-assembly of Molecular Nano-Structures on Dielectric Substrates” Brief Description of my PhD project  Growth of 1D metallic wires on the dielectric films by trapping evaporated metal atoms under the molecules (e.g. Lander molecules) To apply principles of molecular self-assembly in combination with metal deposition to synthesize and investigate nanowires and molecule-electrode nano- contacts relevant for the “molecular electronics” Goal:  Growth of ultrathin dielectric layer by thermal evaporation of NaCl on metallic substrates in UHV  Formation of 1D molecular wires by complementary A-B-A-B- interaction Objectives:
