| The NanoPhysics Lab (NPL)
initiated its activities in 2001, and has steadily
grown in terms of equipment and personnel ever
since. We study structural, electronic, magnetic and
chemical properties of in-situ and ex-situ grown
nanostructures, in the context of experimental
surface science. NPL aims at exploring relevant but
yet-widely-unknown phenomena taking place at the
surface of solid materials, such as the atomic-level
control of on-surface chemical reactions and
catalysis, the bottom-up fabrication of 1D or 2D
functional materials, and also the growth of novel
layered materials with potential application in
state-of-the-art technology devices. The group
applies the synthesis of atomically perfect
materials to practical problems of technological and
industrial interest, aligned with three current
societal challenges. |
