The bottom-up approach aims at forming tailored nanoarchitectures by manipulating organic molecules at atomic level and it is one of the most effective strategies used in nanotechnology. Catalytic surfaces are often used to prompt a particular reaction as they are very successful in modifying a particular molecule in selected ways.…

Combined LEED-STM-IR in UHV machine A new UHV machine has been installed in the main laboratory of ESISNA’s Group. The machine combines three powerful techniques: STM at room temperature (the STM apparatus recycled from old machine); LEED (with multichannel-plate especially suitable for studying molecular structures); and Infrared spectroscopy in reflexion…
Graphene and Graphene derivatives are promising nanostructures to create new atomically precise materials. However, to this goal, it is important to functionalize and manipulate the graphene network in order to include specific species that confer new functionalities to the layer. We have used X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy in order to determine…
The possibility to select molecules with different shapes is one of the most intriguing issues of organic electronics, since it lets us envisage the exploitation of the anisotropy parameter for the design of hybrid archetypal devices. For this reason, we have studied the growth of two organic molecules, whose shape…
