Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces

Nanomaterials Spectroscopy and Imaging

Materials research of structures on a millimeter/micrometer level and below using optical methods covering the wavelength range from the visible via infrared to the terahertz domain. We have a broad experience and infrastructure in measurement technologies. On selected topics we initiate and perform internationally recognized research. At the same time we use our experience to collaborate with research partners in academia and industry.
