Resolve the structure-reactivity relationships by creating well-defined model systems (e.g., Pt-Ni-Pt(111), CeO2-x(111)/Ru(0001), Ga/Cu(100), etc.).

Molecular electronics

Charge transfers in single MnPc molecule.

A molecular level understanding and manipulation of charge transport behavior and electronic energetics in single-molecule electronics.

Strategy
  • Surface science approaches (XPS/UPS, AP-XPS, NEXAFS, STM/AFM, IRAS, etc)
  • In-situ and operando studies
  • At the atomic and molecular levels
Goal

We are carrying out experimental work with the aim of improving scientific theories for a better understanding of functional nanomaterials.

Join us

We are very much looking forward to all students and young researchers to join us!
