Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On January 23, 2019, Dr. Joachim Reichert (Surface and Interface Physics) will talk about newly developed molecular nanoswitches that can be toggled between two structurally different states using an applied voltage. They can serve as the basis for a pioneering class of devices that could replace silicon-based components with organic molecules (TUM press release).
Relevant Publication:
Hai Bi, Carlos-Andres Palma, Yuxiang Gong, Peter Hasch, Mark Elbing, Marcel Mayor, Joachim Reichert and Johannes V. Barth, “Voltage-Driven Conformational Switching with Distinct Raman Signature in a Single-Molecule Junction”: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 140, 14, 4835-4840
We look forward to seeing you there!
