• . Towards this goal, the graphene layer thickness has been determined by various methods including scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) [4], Raman spectroscopy [5], low-energy electron microscopy [6][7], transmission electron microscopy [8], and atomic force microscopy (AFM) [9][10]. AFM also allows the

• localisation of counterions within self-assembled monolayers can be achieved with scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). The presence of charges on the studied shape-persistent macrocycles is shown to have a profound effect on the self-assembly process at the liquid–solid interface. Furthermore, preferential

• patterns with a wide range of symmetries and periodicities [1][2][3][4], with scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) [7] being a primary characterisation tool. However, combining the ordering of self-organised, physisorbed monolayers with an additional functionality remains an important challenge. In

• characterisation is the use of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) to record single-molecule spectra. This relies on the technique of inelastic electron tunnelling spectroscopy (IETS), developed in the mid-1960s [2], and performs measurements on a single molecule using an STM tip as a contact instead of a
