Abstract Quantitative cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy is a new optical spectroscopy technique that measures electron beam-induced optical emission over large field of view with a spatial resolution close to that of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Correlation of surface morphology (SE contrast) with spectrally resolved and highly material composition sensitive CL emission opens a new pathway in non-destructive failure and defect analysis at the nanometer scale. Here we present application of a modern CL microscope in defect and homogeneity metrology, as well as failure analysis in semiconducting electronic materials

Reverse Transition

Recently there has been considerable interest in developing nanometer- and sub-nanometer-scale electronic devices. Of particular interest in this regard is whether individual molecules or molecular complexes can be employed as electronic device elements. Aviram et al. have reported switching and rectification in an organic thin film. More recently, Potember et al. have shown a field-induced conductance transition on a 500 nm scale, but did not demonstrate local reversibility of the transition. The reverse transition was induced only by application of a broad laser pulse or heat. We have observed and replicated reversible conductance transitions in a fully-organic crystalline complex, on a scale close to the dimensions of the unit cell.A crystalline thin-film organic complex of 3-nitrobenzal malononitrile and 1,4-phenylenediamine (NBMN-pDA), exhibits reversible conductance transitions on the sub-nanometer scale when exposed to local electric field pulses from an STM tip.

Molecular Layers

Stable, single-nanometer thin, and free-standing two-dimensional layers with controlled molecular architectures are desired for several applications ranging from (opto-)electronic devices to nanoparticle and single-biomolecule characterization. It is, however, challenging to construct these stable single molecular layers via self-assembly, as the cohesion of those systems is ensured only by in-plane bonds. We herein demonstrate that relatively weak noncovalent bonds of limited directionality such as dipole-dipole (–CN⋅⋅⋅NC–) interactions act in a synergistic fashion to stabilize crystalline monomolecular layers of tetrafunctional calixarenes. The monolayers produced, demonstrated to be free-standing, display a well-defined atomic structure on the single-nanometer scale and are robust under a wide range of conditions including photon and electron radiation. This work opens up new avenues for the fabrication of robust, single-component, and free-standing layers via bottom-up self-assembly.
