Graphene can develop large magnetic moments in custom-crafted open-shell nanostructures such as triangulene, a triangular piece of graphene with zigzag edges. Current methods engineering nanosystems on surfaces succeeded producing atomically precise structures, but demonstration their net spin remains elusive to date. Here, we fabricate triangulenelike systems and demonstrate that they possess S=1 ground state. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy identifies the fingerprint an underscreened Kondo...

Nitrogen heteroatom doping into a triangulene molecule allows tuning its magnetic state. However, the synthesis of nitrogen-doped (aza-triangulene) has been challenging. Herein, we report successful aza-triangulene on Au(111) and Ag(111) surfaces, along with their characterizations by scanning tunneling microscopy spectroscopy in combination density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Aza-triangulenes were obtained reducing ketone-substituted precursors. Exposure to atomic hydrogen...

Triangulene nanographenes are open-shell molecules with predicted high spin state due to the frustration of their conjugated network. Their long-sought synthesis became recently possible over a metal surface.

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), low-dimensional platforms for carbon-based electronics, show the promising perspective to also incorporate spin polarization in their conjugated electron system. However, magnetism GNRs is generally associated with localized states around zigzag edges, difficult fabricate and high reactivity.

Abstract The number of scientific publications nowadays is rapidly increasing, causing information overload for researchers and making it hard scholars to keep up date with current trends lines work. Recent work has tried address this problem by developing methods automated summarization in the scholarly domain, but concentrated so far only on monolingual settings, primarily English. In paper, we consequently explore how state-of-the-art neural abstract models based a multilingual...

Abstract Unimolecular current rectifiers are fundamental building blocks in organic electronics. Rectifying behavior has been identified numerous systems due to electron‐hole asymmetries of orbital levels interfaced by a metal electrode. As consequence, the rectifying ratio (RR) determining diode efficiency remains fixed for chosen molecule‐metal interface. Here, mechanically tunable molecular exhibiting an exceptionally large rectification (>10 5 ) and reversible direction is presented....
