Surface Science using Scanning Probe Microscopy
Surface Science using Scanning Probe Microscopy
Our group focuses on the characterization of surfaces and interfaces of various materials including metals, semiconductors, oxides, organic thin films, and adsorbed molecules. Scanning probe microscopy at the single atomic and molecular scales provides key information for the understanding of catalytic reaction mechanisms and the development of next-generation devices.
