Visualizing the origin of rotational entropy effects in coadsorbed systems
We demonstrate that significant entropic effects govern the stability of rotationally constrained molecular complexes on surfaces. Using a complementary combination of low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, temperature programmed desorption, and density functional theory calculations, we pro...
