Research
The group for time resolved surface science at the Department of Physics at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin is concerned with time-resolved experiments studying self-assembly, sensing, and switching of molecules on surfaces. An understanding of these fundamental processes will lead to optimized molecular (opto-) electronic devices and sensors. Our focus lies on (coherent) x-ray scattering techniques to follow self-assembled growth and structural changes in real-time. Furthermore we are interested in improving the time resolution and sensitivity of time resolved x-ray measurements such as X-ray growth oscillations. We offer interested students countless opportunities to take part in exciting projects.
