Abstract

Control over the T c value of high-T c superconductors by self-assembled monolayers is demonstrated (T c=critical temperature). Molecular control was achieved by adsorption of polar molecules on the superconductor surface (see scheme) that change its carrier concentration through charge transport or light-induced polarization.
