The Physics of Interfaces and Nanomaterials group operates a custom-built, unique Helium Ion Microscope (HIM) that was developed in collaboration with Carl Zeiss NTS and financed by the Foundation for Technical Sciences (STW). It includes features like a much-improved vacuum, as well as enhanced detection capabilities. ... read more |

Our present semiconductor based solid-state microelectronics follows one of the most famous axioms in technology: Moore's law. It states that the number of transistors that can be fabricated on a silicon integrated circuit - and therefore the computing speed of such a circuit - doubling every 1.5 to 2 years. ... read more |

Nanostructured surfaces and self-assembly of nanocolloidal films Nanostructured surfaces, films with morphological features in the nanometer range and ordered assemblies of nanometer-sized particles are an interesting class of nanomaterials with great technological potential. Innovative application fields for these new materials include high-density information storage media, biological sensor arrays, magnetic fluids, medical diagnostics and catalysts. ... read more |

Low Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM) The Low Energy Electron Microscope (LEEM) is one of the instruments used in our group to characterize surfaces and interfaces and the physical and chemical processes that take place on them. The Low Energy Electron Microscope was first devised by prof. Ernst Bauer in 1962. The first working LEEM instrument was demonstrated in 1985. Since then ... read more |
