Research lines
We combine ultra-high vacuum low-temperature scanning probe microscopy with optical spectroscopy to investigate fundamental physical properties of single molecules interfaced with materials in their solid state.
We apply tip-enhanced optical spectroscopy to pursue these lines of research:
- Investigation and control of luminescence on single molecules
- Single-molecule Raman spectroscopy, vibrational mode mapping inside a molecule
- Proof-of-concept single-molecular devices
- Mechanical, electronic and vibronic properties of molecules
- Correlation of luminescence with high-resolution STM/AFM imaging
- Interaction of individual molecular species and their clusters with novel 2D materials
