TL;DR: It is shown that reversible conversion between two distinguishable conductance states can be controlled via photoisomerisation of the switches by using alternative irradiation with UV or visible light, based on switching of the apparent height of the molecules.

TL;DR: Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the dimer-based structure observed on Au(111) originates from molecule/surface interactions, which in turn modify molecule/molecule interactions, and highlight that the Au( 111) substrate is far from being a passive part of the self-assembled system and plays a crucial role in the morphology of 2D polymorphs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the diffusion theory of spin-dependent electrical conduction by including spindependent thermoelectricity and thermal transport, and propose experiments aimed at demonstrating novel effects such as the spin-Peltier effect, the reciprocal of recently demonstrated thermally driven spin injection, as well as the magnetic heat valve.

TL;DR: In this article, the angular dependence of the thermal spin signal of 2D magneto-electronic devices was studied for different conditions of magnetic field and heating current, and the presence of a significant magnetic proximity effect from CrBr$_3$ on Pt revealed by an anomalous Nernst effect in Pt.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a robust method to open a gap in graphene via noncovalent functionalization with porphyrin molecules using a statistical analysis of scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements.
