My
research efforts are mainly focused in understanding the
properties of nanoscale systems at an atomic level with the
help of a scanning tunneling microscope as key experimental
tool.
At
present, I am particularly interested in exploring graphene
physics with atomic precision; electronic properties, point defects and graphene
coupling being the main topics.
I
have also investigated the evolution of superconductivity in
isolated single nanoparticles as a function of size and
temperature.
During
my PhD I studied, at the atomic scale, the electronic
properties, phase transitions and surface diffusion taking
place on the metal-semiconductor systems between 40K and
400K.
Throughout
my research career I have been deeply engaged in the design,
construction and electronic control of scanning probe
instrumentation. |
