Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The electronic structure of nanostructures grown on insulator surfaces would be strongly influenced by charge transfers to or from the surface defects, dramatically changing the physical and chemical properties of the nanostructures. Therefore, in order for us to be able to design and realize nanostructures with the desired novel functionality, e.g., a certain catalytic property, it is critical that we have a detailed understanding of the interaction between nanostructures and surface defects.In this research project, we clarified the charge transfer phenomena between defects and nanostructures on insulator surfaces and investigated the relationship between the structure and the charge state of the nanostructures.
