Analytical Microscopy and Spectroscopy

We use Brillouin and Raman micro-spectroscopy to study functions and eventually dysfunctions of biological cells and tissues.

The Microfabrication Microsensing and Mechanobiology (3M) laboratory is based on a modern approach toward the controlled application and measurements of the forces developed within the living matter.

The SFG laboratory exploits non-linear laser spectroscopy for the atomic-level investigation of (electro)catalytic interfaces and 2D materials from UHV to near-ambient pressure and liquid environments

INSPECT is a laboratory studying the electronic structures and growth mechanisms of thin films, focusing on carbon-based materials and their hybrids

A scanning tunneling microscopy laboratory for the investigation of structural and electronic properties of solid surfaces at the nanoscale, with specific interest in describing their evolution during surface processes.

STS-CS experimentally investigates model 2D systems with strong electron correlation effects simple enough to be addressed by "first principle" state-of-the-art calculations.

SIPE laboratory is focused on the electronic structure and dynamics study of low-dimensional materials and includes 2 IPES chambers (one at IOM-PG) and one TRXAS end-station.

CEM is a center for electron microscopy for the analysis of nanostructured materials and methodological applications. It includes a TEM/STEM laboratory, a SEM facility and a sample preparation laboratory

The Magnonics group of Perugia investigates the magnetization dynamics of low dimensional magnetic systems through Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy and microscopy. The main topics are magnonics crystals and control of spin wave propagation at the nanoscale.

ACROSS is an experimental chamber equipped with a RHEED, a LEED and an AES system for the characterization of structural, physical and chemical properties of surfaces, ultrathin films and nanoarchitectures

An IOM/Elettra laboratory of microscopy for the synthesis and modification of small organic molecules on metals and metal oxides to steer reactions and charge transport.
