New Paper on long polymeric carbon wires

Posted on September 27, 2019September 27, 2019 by Carlo Casari

We published a new paper showing scanning tunneling micrsocopy images and Raman spectra of long linear polymeric sp-sp2 carbo wires produced by on-surface synthesis on a gold surface. This work is the result of a collaboration between EspLORE at Politecnico di Milano, University of Milan and Tongji University, Shanghai. This article is published on Nanoscale (RSC - Royal Society of Chemistry). Title: Scanning tunneling microscopy and Raman spectroscopy of polymeric sp - sp2 carbon atomic w...
