title: Controlling two-phase self-assembly of an adenine derivative on HOPG via kinetic effects.
abstract: Large-area self-assembled structures of a nucleobase adenine derivative were successfully realized through vacuum deposition. STM images reveal two types of structures, which could be regulated by substrate temperature and the evaporation rate, indicating the relevance of kinetic effects. The results are supported by computer simulations.
