Here, we show that a two-dimensional array of dipolar molecular rotors can undergo simultaneous rotational switching when applying an electric field from the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope.

Swansea researchers have developed a new method to stop a molecule from rotating using ultra-low energy, shedding new light on molecule-surface interactions.

The autocorrelation functions for spherical harmonics arising from the rotational Brownian motion of the linear model of a polar molecule are calculated by using Langevin equations and the stochastic ...
