Physical Properties (Optoelectronics and Magnetics) of Solid Hybrid Surfaces

Hybrid interfaces, a boundary between solid (such as metals or semiconductors) and molecule, play an essential role in determining the physical properties (optoelectronics and Magnetics) of the material. For example, it is important in electronics to control parameters such as work function and band banding, while in photonics, such as plasmonic nanostructures, it is fundamental to control field enhancement. Another example relzted to magnetics, we can shift a diamgenic surface to ferromagnetic by dipole molecules.To this end, selecting the proper molecule for a particular application and designing the interface's architecture is crucial. The hybrid interfaces are relzied by molecular termination.  The interface characterization is based on on x-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy, Raman, Kelvin probe, surface photovoltage and Magnetc Force-Microscopy. The experimental results are supported with a simulation.
