Probing down to the atomic scale the size-dependent electronic and magnetic properties of few-atom clusters KU Leuven
Consider a particle that consists of only ten atoms and that is deposited on a metal, semiconductor, or insulator surface. What will be the most stable structure of such a particle and how will this structure be affected by the underlying substrate? What are its corresponding electronic and magnetic properties? How do these properties depend on the exact number of atoms in the particle? These all are fundamental questions that scientists have ...
Vibrational and electronic properties of superconducting films and nanoparticles investigated by advanced synchrotron and theoretical methods. KU Leuven
Superconductivity is one of the most intriguing phenomena in solid state physics. It is characterized by the condensation of electrons into Cooper pairs, i.e. below a particular critical temperature there is an effective attractive interaction between electrons, and in bulk materials this manifests itself in (i) the disappearance of electrical resistance and (ii) the expulsion of an external magnetic field. This attractive interaction between ...

SUPramolecular control of electronic propERties of a GRAphene platform for personalized Medicine (SUPERGRAM) Ghent University
This project aims at developing a highly sensitive sensing platform for early detection of sepsis. To
push the boundaries of sensitivity towards recognition of single biomarker binding events, noncovalent
supramolecular modification of a graphene sensing platform with aaptamer receptors will
be developed. The perfection of graphene minimizes background noise while non-covalent
modification is ...
