We study the adsorption and the growth of FePc and MnPc layer(s) on the Au(111) surface. The evolution of the Au(111) Shockley surface state by molecular deposition has been investigated by means of photoemission spectroscopy. The Shockley surface state un ...
This thesis comprises the study of two types of 2D materials, those stabilized by non-covalent and those by covalent interactions. They are synthesized and studied on well-defined metallic surfaces in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). The self-assembly of terephtha ...
In this thesis, original applications of the Density Overlap Region Indicator (DORI), a density dependent bonding descriptor capable of simultaneously capturing covalent and noncovalent interactions, are discussed. The use of scalar fields, such as DORI, w ...
Single crystals of WS2 were prepared by chemical vapor transport method using sulfur as a transport agent. Measurements of electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity as a function of temperature, along the in-plane and the out-of- ...
Dipole words are sequences of magnetic dipoles, in which alike elements repel and opposite elements attract. Magnetic dipoles contrast with more general sets of bonding types, called glues, in which pairwise bonding strength is specified by a glue function ...
N2 is a cheap and widely available but very unreactive molecule. Notably, the only industrial process for the conversion of dinitrogen is the Haber-Bosch process to form ammonia, but under very harsh conditions (high temperature and pressure). Here, we rev ...
A new series of eight first- and second-generation heterometallic ferrocenyl-derived metal-arene metallodendrimers, containing ruthenium(II) p-cymene, ruthenium(II)-hexamethylbenzene, rhodium(III)-cyclopentadienyl or iridium(III)-cyclopentadienyl moieties ...
We present an extensive study shedding light on the role of surface and bulk losses in micromechanical resonators. We fabricate thin silicon nitride membranes of different sizes and we coat them with different thicknesses of metal. We later characterize th ...
We revisit the description of the low-energy singlet sector of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on kagome in terms of an effective quantum dimer model. With the help of exact diagonalizations of appropriate finite-size clusters, we show that the emb ...
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. B 90, 125102 ( 2014)], we showed that the random phase approximation with exchange (RPAx) gives accurate total energies for a diverse set of systems including the high and low density regime of the homogeneous electron gas, th ...
