Research

The central goal of our research is to correlate structure and dynamics of molecular systems at interfaces with mechanical, electronic, optical and (bio-)chemical properties from molecular to macroscopic length and time scales.

Research Topics

Imaging and manipulation of single macromolecules and supramolecular systems
with a scanning force microscope (SFM)

Molecular Electronics and Electronic Properties

Tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) of molecular systems

Optically Active Molecular Systems

Optical spectroscopy of molecular and organic/inorganic systems
