The main aim of the project is to investigate processes taking place around the molecular assemblies formed on insulating and semiconducting substrate under irradiation by photons. The molecular assemblies grown either by evaporation or by electro-spray deposition will be examined by scanning probe methods, especially non contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) in order to determine dependence of the electrical properties of the assemblies of their morphology, and exploit that dependence to control the electrical properties of the assemblies. Within the project a number of molecule/substrate systems will be tested in order to find the most suitable ones for examination of the evolution of excitation in the assemblies induced by the incoming light. As the result we hope to gain deeper understanding of charge evolution and transport in the assembly which is crucial in many fields of the nanotechnology and research related to development of light-harvesting media.
