style="font-size:14px">In this talk, I will present the main
directions and topics of research that I have been engaged in
the past 25 years. The first part regards the research of
surfaces, atomically thin films, and nanostructures on surfaces.
Characterization of atomic structure, electronic structure, and
quasi-particle interactions with the use of surface-sensitive
techniques such as scanning probe microscopy (STM, AFM) and
electron spectroscopy (ARPES, XPS), provides a wide set of
information for understanding the physical and chemical
properties of these systems. A special aspect of this research
includes the phenomena of templates and self-assembly on the
nano-scale. In the second part of the talk, I will focus on some
of the research on atomically thin two-dimensional (2D)
materials, which are still the central focus of my research
interests today. These include the electronic modulation effects
in epitaxial graphene, as well as the diverse possibilities of
chemical and physical engineering of the properties of graphene
and other 2D materials. All the mentioned research is connected
by the preparation, synthesis, and modification of well-defined
and clean samples on the nanometer and atomic scale. Controlled
synthesis and preparation of samples is enriched by ex-situ
characterization and subsequent manipulation of atomically thin
layers, in order to form van der Waals heterostructures or
enable functionality that is not dominated by the substrate on
which the 2D material is located, for example for the
development of optoelectronic applications. In the final part of
the presentation, I will present research perspectives for the
next 10 years, which provide opportunities for interdisciplinary
aspects and further strengthening of research at the Institute
of Physics.</span><br>
