Xenes
Xenes : growth, characterization, functionalization
Our studies are devoted to the structural properties of Xenes deposited on various crystalline substrates, their electronic properties, as well as the functionalization of these systems with molecules. The investigations are predictive, or performed in relationship with experimental measurements.
