Overview of ResearchWe employ surfaces for the controlled synthesis of low-dimensional nanomaterials. The diversity of chemical functionalities, afforded by molecules, is steered to make nanoarchitectures, which can be tailored for organic electronics, spintronics, and in energy and environmental applications. The formed nanomaterials exhibit distinct chemical, physical, and electronic properties. Nanoscale science techniques including scanning probe microscopy with atomic scale resolution are used and complemented with spectroscopy techniques and theoretical calculations to correlate the properties of low-dimensional nanomatreials with their structure. This research provides knowledge into the formation of nanomatreials with the potential for significant technological and economic impacts in Canada. | |
