Point
defects in graphene systems
Study,
at the atomic scale, of the impact of point defects in the electronic,
structural and magnetic properties of graphene-like materials, where the
two-dimensional structure gives to these atomic defects a critical role. More... |

Graphene
properties on surfaces
Understanding
the coupling of graphene with its local environment is
absolutely critical to be able to integrate it in
tomorrow's electronic devices. We investigate the
influence of different substrates on the properties
graphene layers. More... |

Superconducting
nanoparticles
Experimental
demonstration that in a zero dimensional superconductor
quantum size effects not only set the limit to
superconductivity but are also at the heart of novel
phenomena like shell effects, which result in large
enhancements of the superconducting energy gap. More...

2D
phase transitions
By
tracking exactly the same regions of the surface
with atomic resolution in a temperature range
between 40 K and 200 K, we have been able to observe
in real-time 2D phase transitions in several metal
semiconductor systems. More...

Atomic
diffusion
Variable
temperature STM study of the dynamics, at the atomic
level, of metallic adsorbates (Pb or Sn single atoms)
and single vacancies, intentionally created with the STM
tip, on semiconductor surfaces. More...
