Termination-Controlled Fractionalization and Hybridization at Topological Interfaces in Organic Spin Chains

A single organic spin platform hosts both dimerized $S=\tfrac{1}{2}$ and effective Haldane $S=1$ sectors, linked by bond-texture inversion. At the junction, the fractional mode is controlled by termination parity: quenched by local fusion at one termination and released as an uncompensated spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}$-like degree of freedom at the parity-shifted one. Two such internal boundary modes of a finite embedded Haldane domain hybridize with an exponentially decaying splitting, establishing termination parity as a design principle for engineering and coupling fractional boundary modes.

Tunable Topological Phases in an Organic One-Dimensional Mott Chain: Odd-Haldane (S = 1/2) and Haldane (S = 1)

Establishing symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases with interactions in chemically realistic systems remains an open challenge. We show that a single, synthetically plausible organic one-dimensional chain, tunable via chemical modification of its radical sites, hosts two such phases: an odd-Haldane phase of a dimerized $S=\tfrac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg chain and a Haldane phase of an $S=1$ chain realized when Hund coupling locks two $S=\tfrac{1}{2}$ spins per monomer into $S=1$. Density-functional theory places the active manifold deep in the Mott regime ($U/t\!\approx\!126$), justifying a spin-only Heisenberg description; a compact $(t,U)\!\to\!J$ mapping then fixes exchange couplings. Exact diagonalization and DMRG reveal a consistent SPT fingerprint across both phases, including a quantized many-body Zak phase, even-degenerate entanglement spectrum, protected edge spins, and characteristic triplon/Haldane features in $S^{+-}(q,ω)$. Our results identify a chemically programmable molecular platform for interacting SPT physics in one dimension and suggest concrete spectroscopic routes to organic Haldane spin chains for nanoscale quantum devices.

Atomically precise incorporation of BN doped rubicene into graphene nanoribbons

Substituting heteroatoms and non-benzenoid carbons into nanographene structure offers an unique opportunity for atomic engineering of electronic properties. Here we show the bottom-up synthesis of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with embedded fused BN-doped rubicene components on a Au(111) surface using on-surface chemistry. Structural and electronic properties of the BN-GNRs are characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) with CO-terminated tips supported by numerical calculations. The periodic incorporation of BN heteroatoms in the GNR leads to an increase of the electronic band gap as compared to its undoped counterpart. This opens avenues for the rational design of semiconducting GNRs with optoelectronic properties.
