Biography
1970: Degree in Physics at University of Modena. 1982-2000: Associate Professor in Condensed Matter Physics at University of Modena. 2000 to date: Full Professor in Experimental Physics at University of Modena. Referee for APS, Elsevier Journals and other international Physics Journals. I mostly carried out experimental researches on the physics of surfaces, interfaces and low-dimensional systems by means of HREELS, HRUPS, XPS, LEED,STM. Largely investigated the electronic properties of the Silicon and III-V semiconductor surfaces and interfaces.
Research Interest
Electron Spectroscopy of: Organic/Inorganic interfaces, Magnetic Nano Clusters and Single Molecule Magnets; 2D systems.
