Research Activities
The research interest mainly focuses on the organic molecule/metal (semiconductor) interfaces. With the help of two-photon photo-emission (2PP) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), it is possible to detect the basic electronic structure of the ground-state molecules, the excited states, and their excitation and dynamics. The ultimate purpose for this study is elucidate basic steps in chemical reactions on solid surfaces, especially related to the interfacial charge transfer processes, and solar energy conversion.
