Behorende bij het proefschrift:
Tuning the electronic properties of metal surfaces and graphene by molecular patterning
Jun LI
1. There is plenty of room at the bottom. (Richard Feynman)
2. Well-ordered molecular assemblies can be formed via noncovalent intermolecular interactions. (Chapter 2)
3. Graphene can be used as a buffer layer to decouple adsorbed atoms and molecules from the underlying substrates. (Chapter 4 and Chapter 7) 4. Quantum confinement of surface state electrons on noble metal surfaces
can be induced by molecular porous networks. (Chapter 5 and Chapter 6) 5. The periodic potential induced by a 2D long-range ordered porous network
can be utilized to tune the electronic properties of metal surfaces and graphene on a macroscopic scale. (Chapter 5 and Chapter 6)
6. Performing measurements at a synchrotron is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.
7. Working hard is good, working smart is better.
8. Locking the bike is always important in Groningen, if you do not want to walk home after work.
