Research Summary
grey-line-1.jpg

Development of novel and efficient approaches for combining molecular building blocks into desired functional architectures at well-defined surfaces and the exploration of their fundamental interactions and properties. We employ a range of deposition methods (from organic molecular beam deposition to electrospray soft landing) and state of the art characterisation techniques including scanning probe microscopy and electronic spectroscopy. Main research topics: metal-organic coordination structures; chiral recognition; biomolecule-surface interaction; growth and electronic properties of organic material for molecular electronics and photovoltaics.
