Island, J.O. (author), Kuc, A. (author), Diependaal, E.H. (author), Bratschitsch, R. (author), Van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Heine, T. (author), Castellanos-Gomez, A. (author)We present photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy measurements of single-layer MoSe2 as a function of uniform uniaxial strain. A simple clamping and bending method is described that allows for application of uniaxial strain to layered, 2D materials with strains up to 1.1% without slippage. Using this technique, we find that the electronic band gap...journal article 2016

Galán, E. (author), Perrin, M.L. (author), Lutz, M. (author), Van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Grozema, F.C. (author), Eelkema, R. (author)We have described the synthesis of novel biphenylethane-based wires for molecular electronics. Exceptional single-molecule diode behavior was predicted for unsymmetrically substituted biphenylethane derivatives, synthesized here using the so far unexplored unsymmetrically substituted 1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)ethanes as key intermediates, which were...journal article 2016
