In this work, the attempt has been made to investigate the morphology of self-assembled dipyridinium dithioacetate on Au(111) substrate by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy(STM). Also, we measured electrical properties(I-V) using Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy(STS). Sample used in this experiment is dipyridinium dithioacetate, which contains thiol functional group, this structure that can be self-assembled easily to Au(111) substrate. The self-assembly procedure was used for two different concentrations, 0.5 mM/ml and 1 mM/ml. Dilute density of sample by 0.5 mM/ml, 1 mM/ml and observed dipyridinium dithioacetate's image by STM after self-assembled on Au(111) substrate. The structure of STM tip-SAMs-Au(111) substrate has been used measurement for electrical properties(I-V) using STS. The current-voltage(I-V) measurement result, observed negative differential resistance(NDR) properties.

In this study, electrical properties of self-assembled dipyridinium dithioacetate molecule onto the Au(111) substrate is observed using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy(STM) by vortical structure of STM probe. At first, the Au(111) substrate is cleaned by piranha solution$(H_2SO_4:H_2O_2\;=\;3:1)$. Subsequently, 1 mM/ml of dipyridinium dithioacetate molecule is self-assembled onto the Au(111) surface. Using STM, the images of dipyridinium dithioacetate molecule which is self-assembled onto the Au(111) substrate, can be observed. In addition, the electrical properties(I-V) of dipyridinium dithioacetate can also be examined by using Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy(STS). From the results of the measurement of the current-voltage(I-V), the property of Negative Differential Resistance(NDR) that shows the decreases of current according to the increases of voltage is observed. We found the NDR voltage of the dipyridinium dithioacetate is -1.42 V(negative region) and 1.30 V(positive region), respectively.

This paper describes FPGA implementation of a pointer interpreter which can support a synchronization of SDH(or SONET)-based transmission network. The pointer interpreter consists of a pointer-word extractor and a pointer-word interpreter The pointer-word extractor which is composed of mod-6480 counter, shift register and pointer synchronizing block, finds out the H1 and H2 pointer word from a 51.84 Mb/s AU-3/STS-1 data frame and then performs the synchronizing with a 6.48 Mb/s by dividing them in 8. Based on the extracted pointer word, pointer-word interpreter analyzes pointer states such LOP, AIS and NORM according to pointer state-transition algorithm. It consists of a majority vote, a pointer word valid/invalid check, a pointer justification, and a pointer state check. The simulation results of Xilinx Virtex XCV200PQ240 FPGA chip shows the exact pointer word extraction and correct decision of pointer status based on extracted pointer word. The proposed pointer interpreter is suitable for pointer interpretation of 155 Mb/s STM-1/STS-3 frame.

Molecular spintronics has attracted attentions, which combines molecular electronics with the spin degree of freedom in electron transport. Among various molecules as candidates of the molecular spintronics, single molecule magnet (SMM) is one of the most promising material. SMM molecules show a ferromagnetic behavior even as a single molecule and hold the spin information even after the magnetic field is turned off. Here in this report, we show the spin behavior of SMM molecules adsorbed on the Au surface by combining the observation of Kondo peak in the STS and ESR-STM measurement. Kondo resonance state is formed near the Fermi level when degenerated spin state interacts with conduction electrons. ESR-STM detects the Larmor frequency of the spin in the presence of a magnet field. The sample include $MPc_2$ and $M_2Pc_3$ molecules ($M\;=\;Tb^{3+}$, $Dy^{3+}$, and $Y^{3+}$ Pc=phthalocyanine) whose critical temperature as a ferromagnet reaches 40 K. A clear Kondo peak was observed which is originated from an unpaired electron in the ligand of the molecule, which is the first demonstration of the Kondo peak originated from electron observed in the STS measurement. We also observed corresponding peaks in ESR-STM spectra. [1] In addition we found that the Kondo peak intensity shows a clear variation with the conformational change of the molecule; namely the azimuthal rotational angle of the Pc planes. This indicates that the Kondo resonance is correlated with the molecule electronic state. We examined this phenomena by using STM manipulation technique, where pulse bias application can rotate the relative azimuthal angle of the Pc planes. The result indicates that an application of ~1V pulse to the bias voltage can rotate the Pc plane and the Kondo peaks shows a clear variation in intensity by the molecule's conformational change.

Graphene was epitaxially grown on a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate by thermal decomposition of SiC under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we monitored the evolution of the graphene growth as a function of the temperature. We found that the evaporation of Si occurred dominantly from the corner of the step rather than on the terrace. A carbon-rich $(6{\sqrt{3}}{\times}6{\sqrt{3}})R30^{\circ}$ layer, monolayer graphene, and bilayer graphene were identified by measuring the roughness, step height, and atomic structures. Defect structures such as nanotubes and scattering defects on the monolayer graphene are also discussed. Furthermore, we confirmed that the Dirac points (ED) of the monolayer and bilayer graphene were clearly resolved by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS).

본 연구에서는 dipyridinium dithioacetate 분자를 Au(111) 표면에 자기조립하여 STM 탐침-유기 단분자막-Au(111)기판의 수직구조로 STM 측정시스템을 이용하여, 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. 먼저 Au(111)기판을 Piranha용액$(H_2SO_4:H_2O_2=3:1)$으로 Au 표면을 전처리 하였다. 전처리한 Au(111) 기판을 dipyridinium dithioacetate 1mol/ml 농도로 자기조립 하였으며, 자기조립막의 표면 구조를 STM으로 관찰하였다. dipyridinium dithioacetate의 전기적 특성은 STM 탐침-유기단분자막-Au(111) 기판의 수직구조로 STS를 이용하여 조사하였다. 전압과 전류 측정에서 전압이 증가함에 따라 전류가 감소하는 부성 미분저항(NDR)의 특성이 관찰 되었다. NDR 수치가 $-545\;[m\Omega/cm^2]$였고, PVCR은 1.64:1 이었다.

플러렌은 구조적인 특성때문에 흡착된 표면의 재료적 성질과 구조 그리고 흡착 배향에 따라 전자구조가 민감하게 변한다. 그래핀 위의 플러렌은 약한 van der Waals interaction으로 인해 매우 균일한 패턴으로 자가조립하여 decoupling 되는 것으로 알려져 있지만 [1,2] 그래핀을 지지하는 substrate의 종류에 따라 플러렌의 전자 구조에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다 [3]. 우리는 substrate에 의한 효과를 관찰하기 위헤 Cu(111)위에 그래핀과 플러렌을 순차적으로 성장시켜 STM을 이용하여 플러렌의 흡착구조 및 전자 구조를 연구하였다. 플러렌과 그래핀 사이의 van der Waals interaction과 이웃한 플러렌 분자들 사이의 intermolecular interaction 세기에 따라 흡착 구조가 크게 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다.

We investigated the negative differential resistance (NDR) property of self-assembled 4,4-di(ethynylphenyl)-2'-nitro-l-(thioacetyl)benzene ('nitro-benzene'), which has been well known as a conducting molecule [1], Self-assembly monolayers (SAMs) were prepared on Au (111), which had been thermally deposited onto pre-treated $(H_2SO_4: H_2O_2=3:1)$ Si, The Au substrate was exposed to a 1mM solution of 1-dodecanethiol in ethanol for 24 hours to form a monolayer. After thorough rinsing of the sample, it was exposed to a $0.1{\mu}M$ solution of nitro-benzene in dimethylformamide (DMF) for 30 min and kept in the dark during immersion to avoid photo-oxidation. Following the assembly, the samples were removed from the solutions, rinsed thoroughly with methanol, acetone, and $CH_2Cl_2$, and finally blown dry with $N_2$. Under these conditions, we measured the electrical properties of SAMs using ultra high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) [2]. As a result, we confirmed the properties of NDR in between the positive and negative region.
