Nanophysics Laboratory Research groups

“Nanophysics Laboratory”, devoted to the experimental characterization of surfaces, low-dimensional systems, and novel nanostructured materiales prepared using a surface science approach and studied using scanning tunnelling (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), several photoemission (XPS, ARPES, UPS) and absorption (NEXAFS) techniques, among others. The laboratory aims to provide the complete structural and electronic characterization of nanostructured systems with atomic resolution. Special attention is given to self-assembled nanostructures like stepped surfaces and supramolecular assemblies. It is also worth to mention activity on curved crystals that has given rise to the development of a spin-off company, namely “Bihurcrystal“.
