Project B03 uses scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study molecular structures on charge-density-wave materials like TiSe₂ and Ta₂NiSe₅. It investigates whether bandgap changes and charge-density waves are due to exciton formation or structural causes by analyzing how these features vary with molecular coverage.

Experimental methods: scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM)
