**DIPC Community Seminars**

In the seminar I want to present some of the activities regarding electronic
structure investigations at the San Sebastián based Nanophysics Lab. I will
focus on three subjects, (i) the growth, electronic and magnetic properties of
rare-earth noble-metal surface compounds and their interaction with molecular
arrays, (ii) growth and electronic structure of 2D layers of graphene and
hexagonal boron nitride on curved crystal substrates, and (iii) heterogeneous
catalysis on curved crystals. The two latter activities involve our curved
crystal approach that use cylindrical section of single crystals as substrate
materials. I will highlight the advantages of this approach. On one hand side,
we are able to study the influence of surface steps on growth and electronic
structure; on the other hand, we can study active catalytic sites at surfaces
of materials in certain reactions. These reactions include the environmental
relevant CO oxidation, as well as CO2 reduction to produce “green†fuels.
