Atomic scale characterisation of pentacene and C60 on the anatase (101) surface using atomic force microscopy

Seminar Tuesday, 19/01/2016 10:00 - 11:00

Speakers: Oscar Custance (NIMS, Tsukuba, Japan)
Place: Cukrovarnická 10, building A, library seminar room, 1st floor
Presented in English
Organisers: Department of Thin Films and Nanostructures

Anatase is a pivotal material in devices for energy-harvesting applications and catalysis. Here, we will present a study that combines atomic force microscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy, supported by first-principles calculations, for the simultaneous imaging and identification of atomic species at the (101) anatase surface. We will also present a high-resolution imaging method that enabled us to characterise the adsorption geometry of pentacene and C60 molecules deposited on the anatase (101) surface in the sub-monolayer coverage regime.
