ESISNA (Interdisciplinary Studies based on nanoscopic systems)

The aim of our research group is to use nanoscience and surface-science methodologies to investigate interdisciplinary problems. we study at the nanoscale the structure and electronic properties of low dimensional systems on surfaces and to develop new methodologies to induce highly-controlled chemical reactions on surfaces. We target on new nano-architectures of reduced dimensionality by using organic molecules as building blocks and bottom-up strategies. We link the atomic structure of the on-surface synthesized nano-architectures and 2D layers with its electronic properties by using a combination of different experimental surface science techniques (STM, LEED, IRS, XPS synchrotron radiation..).
