title: Traversing the "top-down/bottom-up" divide: molecular-scale lithography of self-assembled ribbons.
abstract: Use of graphitic (hexabenzocoronene-derived) molecules produces cholesteric ribbons which serve as molecular resists in a fluorine plasma. This procedure allows the shape of the molecular assemblies to be etched into the underlying silicon, validating the concept of "molecular resists".
