Gianlorenzo Bussetti
Associate Professor
I followed the Master of Science in Physics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
The work of my thesis, entitled "Measurements of Anisotropy in Surface Reflectance Infrared (IR-RAS) on the optical-transition of dangling bonds in Si (111) electron-phonon interaction and 2x1 as a function of temperature", was held under the supervision of Prof. G. Chiarotti. Always at the University of Tor Vergata, I obtained my PhD thesis with a study on the optical properties of organic films ("Thin and ultra-thin organic layers investigated by Reflectance Anisotropy Spectroscopy"). The results and their applications in the field of solid state devices (namely gas sensors), have allowed me to win the Giulotto prize and to be called by the Institute des Nanosciences de Paris (Paris-INSP-France) and the J. Kepler University of Linz (Austria).
Currently I am working on the physical and chemical properties of electrified surfaces at the liquid/solid interface by means of electrochemical scanning probe microscopy (EC-SPM).
