High Resolution Scanning Probe Microscopy/Spectroscopy of Functionalized Carbon Allotropes (B04)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Solids and Surfaces, Material Characterisation
• Term: from 2012 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 182849149

The project is devoted to the self-assembly and surface-assisted synthesis of novel carbon materials on metal surfaces and the characterization of their structural and electronic properties at the atomic-scale using high-resolution scanning probe microscopy. In particular, we will increase the structural complexity of the carbon materials to tune their electronic properties by investigating networks and ribbons that include 4-,5-,7-, or 8-membered rings or heteroatoms as well as non-planar systems.
