Maurizio De Crescenzi: is professor of Physics of the Structure of Matter at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Rome. His research activity has focused on synthesis, structural and electronic properties of surfaces and carbon-based nano-materials. It showed that carbon nanotubes can be used as efficient photonic devices and solar cells. Furthermore, their use can improve the mechanical and chemical properties of materials (and in particular of steels) on which they are grown and attached. He is the author of about 300 international publications. He has organized several national and international conferences on nanostructures.
Mattia Scagliotti: graduated in Physics in 2017 at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" by discussing a thesis on carbon nanotube / silicon hetero-junction for photovoltaic and photodetector applications. From 2017 he started his PhD in Physics at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” on the development of photodetectors based on 2D materials and applications of carbon nanotubes in different fields of physics and chemistry of materials.
Matteo Salvato: He is a researcher in condensed matter physics at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". His research activity has focused on the construction and study of structural and transport properties of thin films, epitaxial multilayers and MBE (Molecular Beam Epitaxy) and CVD deposition (Chemical vapor deposition) techniques. He studied the transport properties of nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes and graphene in solar cell and photodetector applications. He is the author or co-author of over 100 scientific publications in international journals and international conference proceedings on the physics of the subject.
Manuela Scarselli: She is a researcher in solid state physics at the Physics Department of the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". Her experimental activity concerns Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and X-ray spectroscopy. Her interests have focused on the synthesis, characterization, decoration of carbon nanotubes and their application in electrochemical photos for solar cells, growth and characterization on steels. She is the author or co-author of over 100 scientific publications in international journals and international conference proceedings on the physics of the subject.
Paola Castrucci: He is associate professor of Structure of Matter at the Physics Department of the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". Her research activity focused on nanostructures such as nanowires, nanotubes and two-dimensional materials. Her experience ranges from the growth of these systems to their structural and electronic characterization through different spectroscopies, microscopies and diffraction techniques. She has worked on photovoltaic measurements of new-generation carbon-based nanomaterials and 2D nanomaterials.
