The goal of this PhD project is to develop highly ordered and structurally stable molecular devices. The growth of thermally and mechanically stable molecular nanostructures is a major challenge for retaining the quantum mechanical properties of molecules in real-world and demanding environments. This is especially important in nanoelectrical devices where heat and stress can damage the molecular structure, causing device failure. This PhD project aims to overcome this challenge by developing new methods for step-by-step (atom-by-atom) on-surface synthesis of covalently stabilised molecular wires and devices. Achieving this goal will address a major outstanding challenge in translating functional molecular polymers to technologically relevant materials.

该博士项目的目标是开发高度有序且结构稳定的分子器件。热稳定和机械稳定的分子纳米结构的生长是在现实世界和苛刻环境中保持分子的量子力学特性的主要挑战。这在纳米电子器件中尤其重要，因为热量和应力会损坏分子结构，导致器件故障。该博士项目旨在通过开发逐步（逐个原子）表面合成共价稳定分子线和器件的新方法来克服这一挑战。实现这一目标将解决将功能性分子聚合物转化为技术相关材料的重大挑战。
