What Tools are Used to Study Electronic Structure?
Several sophisticated tools and techniques are employed to study the electronic structure of nanomaterials. These include scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), which allows visualization of electron density at atomic scales, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), which provides information on the electronic band structure. Additionally, computational methods like Density Functional Theory (DFT) are extensively used to predict and analyze electronic properties theoretically.
