Abstract

Adsorbate molecules usually carry electric dipole moments, and the magnitude can be engineered by adding polar groups. This paper investigates the dynamic domain pattern formation of multilayer dipolar molecules on a substrate under the guidance of external electric fields. The simulations reveal self-alignment, pattern conformation and the reduction of feature size in multilayer systems. A novel approach of transporting molecules on a substrate surface by reconfigurable molecular vehicles and embedded electrodes is proposed.
