Dr. Boné then presented his work to the ÖPG Section Surfaces, Interfaces and Thin Layers (OGD).
In his dissertation “Photoemission tomography of organic molecules and oxides on metal surfaces”, Thomas Boné created highly defined surface model systems to investigate electronic orbital states and charge transfer processes between metallic/oxide surfaces and organic thin layers.
He wrote his doctoral thesis in the “Surface and Interface Physics” group of the Institute of Physics at the Karl Franzens University Graz as part of the FWF project “Photoemission orbital tomography of excited molecular states”. The experimental work was carried out at the NAWI Graz Core Facility “Photoemission electron microscopy on nanomaterials”. This spatially and momentum-resolved photoelectron microscope enables a clear assignment of the photoelectron distribution of molecular states in momentum space with the associated orbitals using photoemission orbital tomography.
Thomas Boné has already completed outstanding scientific research work within his doctorate. He is currently taking the postgraduate course in “Medical Physics” at the Medical University of Vienna.
