T1: Organic materials science and molecular nanotechnology
This more fundamental theme concerns the fabrication of structures the characterisation of structures and electronic or thermal transport properties.
The aspects explored in this theme are, for example:
- The study of growth of electropolymerised dendrites [SciRep22]
- The electronic transport at the nanometre scale measured by Conductive-AFM on polyoxometalate [Nanoscale18; Nanoscale22] or on nanocrystals of Co and Ni analogues of Prussian blue [Nanoscale20 ; Nanoscale23) or on molecular switches deposited in self-assembled monolayer like derivatives azobenzenes [Nanoscale21] or diarylethenes [Nanoscale22)
- The thermal properties as a function of the structure of the organic molecules under consideration (different substituents, presence of transition metals) are also studied using the Scanning Thermal Microscope [Nanoscale21; Nanoscale22].
- The demonstration of photo-switches terahertz measured by Conductive-AFM and based on self-assembled molecular monolayers (SAM). [Nanoscale24]
