Research Focus
His research centres on the fundamental interface physics of organic semiconductors with metals and 2-D materials. Using synchrotron-based photoemission spectroscopy (XPS/UPS), X-ray absorption (NEXAFS/XAS), scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and Raman spectroscopy, his group investigates energy-level alignment, charge-transfer mechanisms and molecular orientation in thin films of phthalocyanines, acenes, low-band-gap polymers and perovskites. Recent projects include the growth and electronic structure of heptacene and peri-tetracene monolayers, tuning MoS₂ interfaces via functional phthalocyanines, and interface engineering for flexible perovskite photovoltaics.
Scientific Service & Recognition
- Referee for >20 international journals
- 2012–2018: Member, Scientific Selection Panel, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin
- 2013–2015: Member, International Users’ Committee, ANKA Synchrotron, Karlsruhe
- 2020–present: Member, HZB User Committee (BESSY Berlin)
Teaching & Mentoring
Professor Peisert lectures in Physical Chemistry I & II, leads the advanced practical course in Physical Chemistry, and offers a master-level course Organic Semiconductors. His group currently advertises PhD and Bachelor/Master projects in collaboration with synthetic and theory partners.
