Colloquia: Illuminating graphene nanosystems, prof. Elisa Molinari, 21 marzo

Illuminating graphene nanosystems, prof. Elisa Molinari

21 marzo, ore 16, Aula Rostagni, Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia

ABSTRACT:

Graphene, the planar hexagonal crystal of C atoms, is a very special laboratory system to explore fundamental physics, and a material with some superlative properties which promise revolutionary applications. After a brief review of some recent advancements, I will focus on the new frontier of graphene-based nanosystems, such as nanoribbons and nanoflakes, and illustrate how their atomic control is now leading to a new branch of nanoscience.
