Electrically Contacting Molecules Using Graphene for Energy Harvesting

Short rigid molecules can now be tailored to have particular electrical and thermal properties. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of such molecules could therefore generate electrical power from a temperature gradient across it, “harvesting” waste energy from the environment. The challenge is to...

Graphene quantum dots

Graphene quantum dots We have been working with the nobel-prize winning material graphene - single layers of carbon atoms which exhibit electronic properties relevant to a wide range of device applications and fundamental questions in condensed matter physics. Figure 1: An AFM image of a graphene...

Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) of Graphene

Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) of Graphene Introduction Our research focuses on the use of novel scanning probe techniques to visualise and directly influence the wave-like properties of electrons in small conductors. We are particularly interested in characterising the behaviour of electrons...
