Research Interest
Mattia Fanetti’s research activity has been mainly devoted on synthesis and characterization of a wide variety of nanostructures (self-organized organic molecule thin films, metal clusters of surfaces, semiconductor nanowires, nanostructures obtained by lithography, etc.). At present, his research is focused on the study of the morphology ad the photo-active properties of semiconductors (e.g. GaAs) nanowires and oxides (ZnO, TiO2, CuO) porous nanostructures for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications.
