| We use intermolecular interactions and selective chemistry to direct molecules into desired positions to create nanostructures, to connect functional molecules to the outside world, and to serve as test structures for measurements of single or bundled molecules. Interactions within and between molecules can be measured, understood and exploited at unprecedented scales. We look at how these interactions influence the chemistry, dynamics, structure, and other properties. Such interactions can be used to advantage to form precise molecular assemblies, nanostructures, and patterns. These nanostructures can be taken all the way down to atomic-scale precision or can be used at larger scales. We select molecules to choose the intermolecular interaction strength and the structures formed within the film. We also apply selective chemistry and self-assembly to form multilayers on patterns formed with conventional nanolithographic techniques to reach higher resolution, greater precision, and chemical versatility in nanostructures that we create. |
