Our research aims to
advance the chemistry and physics of electroactive nanostructures,
and to study the phenomena occurring at their surfaces and
interfaces. Novel nanomaterials such as nanotubes, nanowires
and supramolecular nanostructures are studied using surface
sensitive techniques (UPS, AES, XPS, HREELS, IRAS), transport
experiments (IV curves and magnetoresistance with temperature)
and proximal probes (STM and AFM). In addition, we use techniques
borrowed from microelectronics to construct prototype nanodevices
and explore possible applications of one-dimensional nanomaterials
for electronics, optoelectronics, sensing technologies and
energy conversion.
