Direct Writing of Sub-5 nm Hafnium Diboride Metallic Nanostructures and an all electric single molecule motor

by

1. ACS Nano -Direct Writing of Sub-5 nm Hafnium Diboride Metallic Nanostructures Sub-5 nm metallic hafnium diboride (HfB2) nanostructures were directly written onto Si(100)-2 × 1:H surfaces using ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (UHV-STM) electron beam induced deposition (EBID) of a carbon-free precursor molecule, tetrakis(tetrahydroborato)hafnium, Hf(BH4)4. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy data confirm the metallic nature of …
