In collaboration with staff scientists at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory (CFN @ BNL), LabMontiTM members reveal the molecular and atomic structure of surfaces and interfaces with organic semiconductors. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and non-contact atomic force microscopy at temperatures of 5 K we are able to study the precise atomic arrangement on surfaces for thin films that we grow.

Using scanning tunneling microscopy and non-contact atomic force microscopy at temperatures of 5 K we are able to study the precise atomic arrangement on surfaces for thin films that we grow.
Using this approach, we have shown e.g. quantum entanglement of electrons at molecule / metal interfaces, molecular configuration-selective adsorption and thin film formation and exquisite control of molecular self-assembly on metal surfaces. This structural information is essential to interpret the spectroscopic data that we acquire in our own lab at Arizona using ARPES.
