This project aims to develop a cryogenic system for a UHV (Ultra-High Vacuum) manipulator that is currently under development in our group and that will be installed inside a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LT-STM). This advice will be used as a light detector to collect the Luminescence in the STM scan, and since the equipment will operate in low temperatures, it is necessary that this advice also operate in low temperatures so that it won't cause thermal instability which would prefent image acquisition due to thermal drifts.

We report an ultra-high vacuum low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of the C60 monolayer grown on Cd(0001). Individual C60 molecules adsorbed on Cd(0001) may exhibit a bright or dim contrast in STM images. When deposited at low temperatures close to 100 K, C60 thin films present a curved structure to release strain due to dominant molecule–substrate interactions. Moreover, edge dislocation appears when two different wavy structures encounter each other, which has seldomly been observed in molecular self-assembly. When growth temperature rose, we found two forms of symmetric kagome lattice superstructures, 2 × 2 and 4 × 4, at room temperature (RT) and 310 K, respectively. The results provide new insight into the growth behavior of C60 films.

Various two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes with non-alternant topologies, such as pentaheptites and phagraphene, have been proposed. Predictions indicate that these metastable carbon polymorphs, which contain odd-numbered rings, possess unusual (opto)electronic properties. However, none of these materials has been achieved experimentally due to synthetic challenges. In this work, by using on-surface synthesis, nanoribbons of the non-alternant graphene allotropes, phagraphene and tetra-penta-hepta(TPH)-graphene have been obtained by dehydrogenative C-C coupling of 2,6-polyazulene chains. These chains were formed in a preceding reaction step via on-surface Ullmann coupling of 2,6-dibromoazulene. Low-temperature scanning probe microscopies with CO-functionalized tip and density functional theory calculations have been used to elucidate their structural properties. <br>
