Surface Reconstruction & Nanostructures

Investigating how chemical environments drive structural changes on Au(111) surfaces at the atomic scale.

Overview

Surface reconstruction occurs when atoms at a material's surface rearrange into new structures. Our research focuses on understanding how solvents, acids, and other environmental factors influence these changes under realistic experimental conditions.

Current & Featured Studies

  • Chemically Gated Surface Reconstruction

  • Formation of Au Magic Fingers

  • Solvent Effects on Au(111)

  • Au(111) Surface Disturbance in Air
