Investigation of 2D materials both as freestanding or as deposited on substrates: graphene in its pristine configuration or doped with B and N has been considered in order to work out its electronic, magnetic, and transport properties in view to spintronics applications.
Investigation of finite Graphene nanoribbons as key elements in nano-junctions for Carbon based electronics.
Adsorption of organic molecule on oxide surfaces and study of their reactivity, based on electronic properties like HOMO-LUM gap or charge transfer.
