Journal ArticleDOI
The role of van der Waals forces in the performance of molecular diodes
TL;DR: It is shown experimentally that subtle changes in the intermolecular van der Waals interactions in the active component of a molecular diode dramatically impact the performance of the device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular diodes with rectification ratios exceeding 105 driven by electrostatic interactions.
Xiaoping Chen,Max Roemer,Li Yuan,Wei Du,Damien Thompson,Enrique del Barco,Christian A. Nijhuis +6 more
TL;DR: A molecular diode with R = 6.3 × 105 based on self-assembled monolayers with Fc-C≡C-Fc (Fc, ferrocenyl) termini is reported, successfully model this mechanism using molecular dynamics calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling the direction of rectification in a molecular diode
Li Yuan,Nisachol Nerngchamnong,Liang Cao,Hicham Hamoudi,Enrique del Barco,Max Roemer,Ravi K. Sriramula,Damien Thompson,Christian A. Nijhuis +8 more
TL;DR: This work shows that non-covalent contacts between the active molecular component and the electrodes allow for robust coupling with minimal energy broadening of the molecular level, precisely what is required to maximize the rectification ratio of a molecular diode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of piezoelectricity in amino acids by supramolecular packing.
Sarah Guerin,Aimee Stapleton,Drahomir Chovan,Rabah Mouras,Matthew Gleeson,Cian McKeown,Mohamed R. Noor,Christophe Silien,Fernando M.F. Rhen,Andrei L. Kholkin,Andrei L. Kholkin,Ning Liu,Tewfik Soulimane,Syed A. M. Tofail,Damien Thompson +14 more
TL;DR: Guided by quantum mechanical calculations, a high shear piezoelectricity is measured in the amino acid crystal beta (β) glycine, which is of similar magnitude to barium titanate or lead zirconate titanate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of bleomycin in combination chemotherapy for good-prognosis germ cell carcinoma. Australasian Germ Cell Trial Group.
John A. Levi,Derek Raghavan,Vernon Harvey,Damien Thompson,Tom Sandeman,Grantley Gill,Robin Stuart-Harris,Raymond Snyder,M. J. Byrne,Z Kerestes +9 more
TL;DR: Despite the toxicities encountered with bleomycin in cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy for these patients, complete deletion of this drug compromises therapeutic efficacy.
