Como ya viene siendo habitual, cada año, antes del verano, nos reunimos los integrantes del grupo junto con nuestros colegas del CAB y antiguos miembros en el campo para hacer una barbacoa a la hora de comer y luego, por la tarde, una fiesta en la que están invitados todos…
Fast diffusing cysteine molecules on the Au surface can be regarded as a 2D molecular gas. Molecular “evaporation” and “condensation” from the gas on the surface morphological features takes place continuously. This process leads progressively to the formation of a number of stable arrangements, not previously reported, like single-molecular rows,…
Un equipo de investigadores del Centro de Astrobiología (INTA-CSIC) ha comprobado que a partir de la sal Azul de Prusia se pueden obtener cianuro de hidrógeno, urea y otras sustancias consideradas esenciales en la formación de las primeras moléculas biológicas. Para realizar el estudio, publicado en la revista Chemistry &…
A single molecular magnet (SMM) is a large molecule exhibiting superparamagnetic properties, and therefore it behaves like a magnet. One of the challenges attracting more attention over the last few years has been the development of new techniques that allow their nanostructuration and addressing on surfaces, to promote their potential…
Most of the people of the ESISNA group have attended to the international conference: «Atomic controlled surfaces and interfaces- ACSIN» held in Granada (September-2009). The conference was mainly devoted to discuss about epitaxial graphene layers and organic molecules on surfaces.After the long scientific sessions we found also time for visiting…

Surface Science studies use to prepare flat and clean surfaces by combining cycles of sputtering and annealing under Ultra-High Vacuum conditions. This procedure leads to large and ordered atomic terraces, as the shown in the image. However, there are other simple methods to have single-atom separated terraces. These could be…
The STM technique presents a clear drawback: the uncontrolled shape and chemical termination of the tip. This is particularly important in UHV, where atomic resolution is wanted. Tip preparation methods are therefore essential for obtaining good STM images. Here follows our optimized recipe. If you find it useful, please, let…
The paper entitled: Fullerenes from aromatic precursors by surface catalysed cyclodehydrogenation. by G. Otero,et al. Nature 454, 865-868 (2008) has been commented on different journals and magazines. Here you could find a list of some of the links.
Here follows a list of some forthcoming conferences related to our research topics: please, fell free to send us information about other non-listed conferences!
