Welcome

Research in the Nanoscopy on Low Dimensional Materials (NLDM) group, leaded by Dr. Raul Arenal, explores the growth mechanism, structural and physical properties of carbon and related nanomaterials as well as other nano-structures (in particular, metallic nano-objects for plasmonic/photonic interest).

To accomplish these studies different transmission electron microscopies (TEM) techniques are utilized: HR(S)TEM, electron diffraction, EELS, EDS and electron tomography, as well as in-situ TEM approaches.

We are also interested in the coupling of these local techniques with other macroscopic spectroscopies as XPS, Raman and UV-Vis. The group actively collaborates with industrial and academic partners in these research areas.
