9 Focus on two projects: 9 1- Molecular electronics:
Addressing a single molecule Single molecular/atomic device “Ingredients”: Nano to macro scale connections N-probe STM Passivated semi-conductors: H:Ge(001)/Ge or H:Si(001)/Si Large band-gap SC: AlN (0001) Dielectrics: Calcite: CaCO3 Molecular/atomic wiring Atomic scale precision: UHV STM/Nc-AFM for imaging, manipulation, spectroscopy Planar Atomic & Molecular Scale technologies André Gourdon Brno, April 2017 9

11 Nanoelectrodes on a large band-gap insulator: AlN
Initial objective: Find a couple metal/insulator for which the metal grow as 2D islands AlN: large gap 6.2 eV – NC-AFM Unknown surface structure so far Reactive substrate : -preparation by MBE -on 4H-SiC(0001) (1% mismatch) substrate Al + NH3: very slow growth rate 10 nm/h -small dislocation density 2 109/cm2 -transfer in UHV to a RT NC-AFM chamber PRB 94, (2016) AIP Adv. 5, (2015) D.

12 2D 1ML Au islands on AlN(0001) - charging
Charging at t=0 (+9V /tip) Topography Long retention time No inter-island charge transfer Df vs V: jumps corresponding to single charge transfers To sum up: we have large 2D 1ML isolated Au nanopads on a fully insulating surface KPFM André Gourdon Brno, April 2017
