About

Research Focus

Research Interests

  • Dynamics and structure of molecules adsorbed on surfaces and in nano-cages.
  • Surface diffusion and friction - mainly on carbon systems.
  • Development of potential energy landscapes of surface adsorbed molecules using experimental and theoretical methods.
  • Understanding of surface effects on the dynamics of confined liquids.
  • Development of models for the description of the dynamics close to the glass transition.
  • Dynamics of magnetic systems.

Technical Developments

Development of new instrumentation for neutron scattering (spin-echo  and time-of-flight spectrometers).

Experimental techniques: Neutron and helium atom scattering, adsorption isotherms, standard surface science techniques.

Computational/theoretical methods

Classical molecular dynamics simulations, density functional theory calculations. Extensive use of analytical and finite element magnetic field calculations as well as of Monte-Carlo ray-tracing simulations.
