Welcome to the Surface Science Lab

The SURFACE SCIENCE LABORATORY, jointly established on the basis of an official agreement by the Department of Physics of the University of Trieste and the Sincrotrone Trieste, hosts researchers and students carrying out experimental activities in the field of Surface Physics, in close collaboration with scientists from the Elettra Laboratory and the Surface Structure and Reactivity group of the IOM-CNR. Since 2000 more than 30 students have carried out experimental work at the Surface Science Laboratory in preparation of their Master's degree thesis in Physics, as well as in the framework of the PhD educational program of the Graduate School of Physics and the Graduate School of Nanotechology of the University of Trieste. In addition the Laboratory hosts the Training Activity of the course Laboratorio di Fisica della Materia for the undergraduate students in Physics at the University of Trieste.

Between July 8 and July 13, Elisa attended the 16^th International Symposium on Small Clusters and Inorganic Nanoparticles (ISSPIC XVI) in Leuven, Belgium.
The ISSPIC conference, which started in 1976, has evolved into an event of global relevance for the presentation and discussion of the latest scientific developments in the fields of atomic and molecular clusters, nanoparticles and nanostructures. Thefocus of the conference, which this year was held at the Catholic University of Leuven, was the fundamental science of finite size effects, and the possibility of controlling the properties of materials at the nanometer scale.
At the conference, Elisa presented a poster by the title "The interaction of oxygen with Rh nanoclusters supported on epitaxial graphene".   

After a three months period of training, the students of the Condensed Matter Laboratory Course -Master’s Degree Course in Physics of the University of Trieste- have completed the experimental activities in the lab. They performed experiments on the growth of graphene on transition metal surfaces. The two main techniques which were employed for the characterization of the systems were Low Energy Electron Diffraction and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.  After the training period in the Laboratory, the undergraduates have been involved in a beamtime at the SuperESCA beamline, where the systems under study have been thoroughly investigated by using the synchrotron radiation produced by Elettra.

On January 18^th, at the end of the 3 days Annual Conference of the PhD School of Nanotechnology,  Elisa Miniussi was bestowed the Tommasini Award 2012 for the most comprehensible talk.

The Conference is meant to provide PhD students the opportunity to present and discuss the main results achieved during their last year of scientific activity in their respective fields.The Tommasini Award is issued in honour of Prof. Fernando Tommasini, which is the founder of the Graduate School, and is assigned every year to the student whose talk best meets the criteria of clarity and outreach to a wide audience.
