Surface Conversion

We investigate, by using scanning tunnelling microscopy, the adsorption of pentacene on Ni(111) at room temperature, and the on-surface conversion of these monolayer films to graphene at temperatures as low as 220 °C.

Reactive Interaction

The reactive interaction of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [BMP][TFSA] with Cu(111) was investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions.
