Empa - Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces

Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces Laboratory

We explore the fundamental transport properties of hybrid devices combining organic and inorganic materials with atomically-precise structures. For this purpose, we develop and take advantadge of state-of-the-art nanoscale patterning techniques and rely on a strong interdisciplinary team of scientists with expertise in physics, material science, chemistry, biochemical engineering and electrical engineering.

Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces Laboratory

Our interdisciplinary team gathers physicists, materials scientists, (bio-) chemists, and engineers focusing on bringing novel materials to devices. We are interested in understanding the fundamental electronic, optoelectronic, thermal and ionic transport processes involved in atomically-precise nanostructures and low-dimensional materials. The heterogeneous integration of novel nanomaterials requires custom-made methods for nanoscale patterning and interfaces nanostructuring. Overall, we strive to master the chain of competences leading from designer materials with tailored quantum properties to devices with targeted application in information & quantum technology, energy conversion & storage as well as biochemical sensing & diagnostics.
