Materials and surface studies
Another part of our research activity has been dedicated to the study of complex systems that cannot be tackled fully by other atomic level characterization techniques. Notably, we have investigated the structure of various types of materials (from catalytic surfaces to functionalized silica nanoparticles and bacterial cell walls) and thanks to the sensitivity afforded by MAS-DNP, we were able to report new types of NMR experiments and to gain significant insight into the materials’ structures
