Nanomaterials
The nanomaterials group is synthesizing and characterizing new materials at the nanoscale. The research concentrates on low-dimensional materials, nanoparticles, materials for catalysis, and functional materials. Different techniques of electron microscopy are applied for imaging, diffraction, spectroscopy, and in-situ experiments. The combination of in-situ generation and characterization in the electron microscope allows insight into the processes […]

S.T.M
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) within the DSI focuses on the electronic, spin-related and luminescence properties of single objects such as metallic nanostructures, molecules and atoms. Various techniques are employed for this purpose ranging from scanning tunneling spectroscopy (unpolarized or spin polarized) to contact measurements. In this latter case, stable and reproducible two-terminal devices can be […]
