A multidisciplinary CNR-IOM laboratory located at the Elettra Synchrotron (Italy).
Designed for the in situ growth and characterization of organic thin films
and for the study of the electronic structure dynamics by means of optical pump / X-ray probe spectroscopies.

Our research interests:

CT_organic
Exciton dynamics in organic semiconductors

We use laser and X‑ray pump‑probe spectroscopies to study electronic processes in organic semiconductors and hybrid heterojunctions.

on-surface-synth
On-surface synthesis

We investigate in situ synthesis protocols for large molecules, 2D materials, and covalent frameworks to build interfaces for potential use as smart electrodes in organic electronics.

MoTe2
Photo-induced modification of matter

We characterize the sub‑nanosecond evolution of chemical properties to assess the stability of novel optoelectronic materials under optical excitation.

Guest-host
Chemical guest-host
at surfaces

We functionalize surfaces with organic films to promote molecular recognition, and improve the interfacial charge transfer.
