Surface and Interface Research Group

Technical Contact: Steven Buntin

About the Group:

The Surface and Interface Research Group conducts research on the development of innovative metrologies and measurement protocols for micro/nano-scale heterosystems analysis. Measurement techniques are used to determine sample composition as well as structural, electronic, and chemical properties of a wide variety of organic, inorganic and biomolecular systems where materials of interest are typically present as either micro/nano-scale features or monolayer/multilayer films. Current research areas include:

1) high resolution, super-resolution and near-field microscopies for chemical imaging

2) nanoscale domain charge transfer dynamics in molecule-based systems

3) linear and non-linear laser-based spectroscopies for mono/multilayer films

4) materials synthesis, fabrication and modification for nanotechnologies
