The miniaturization trend in the semiconductor industry has led to the understanding that
interfacial properties are crucial for device behaviour. Spintronics has not been alien to this …

Surface functionalization with organic molecules has proven effective to modulate the
electronic properties of 2D materials. More recently, surface functionalization has been …

The literature data on topological insulators (TIs) based on metal chalcogenides, which
constitute a new unique class of functional materials, are systematized here in the context of …

Helium Atom Scattering (HAS) and Helium Spin-Echo scattering (HeSE), together helium
scattering, are well established, but non-commercial surface science techniques. They are …

Atomic intercalation in two-dimensional (2D) layered materials can be used to engineer the
electronic structure at the atomic scale and generate tuneable physical and chemical …

A review of spin-and angle-resolved photoemission on topological materials is presented,
with a specific focus on results obtained by the author. This work is aimed at readers who …

The microscopic motion of water is a central question, but gaining experimental information
about the interfacial dynamics of water in fields such as catalysis, biophysics and …

Energy dissipation and the transfer rate of adsorbed molecules do not only determine the
rates of chemical reactions but are also a key factor that often dictates the growth of organic …

Heterostructures unconstrained by epitaxy have generated considerable excitement due to
the discovery of emergent properties—properties not found in either constituent …

We report on the formation of a two-dimensional supramolecular Kondo lattice made of
organic molecules comprising only C, N, and H atoms, namely metal-free phthalocyanines …
