Nanotechnology Research - Universities in Germany

The group synthesizes, modifies and characterizes functional nanoscale materials with emphasis on optical and electronic properties, nanowires, metasurfaces and photovoltaics.

The Strong Field Nanophotonics group focuses on ultrafast nonlinear optics, spectroscopy, nonlinear nanophotonics and high-order harmonic generation in nanoscale solids.

Applied Physical Chemistry & Molecular Nanotechnology group studying molecular nanotechnology and nanoscale materials at the Institute of Physical Chemistry.

Zum Wintersemester 2009/10 startet der Studiengang Bachelor of Science Nanostrukturwissenschaften.

One of CINSaT's main characteristics is the broad interdisciplinary scope, participating disciplines ranging from physics, chemistry, biology and philosophy to mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering, including the Institute of Nanostructure Technology and Analytics (INA). Research of the center is accompanied by an interdisciplinary diploma course of studies Nanostructure and Molecular Science.

Within the Institute, a modern cleanroom up to class 1 exists, enabling the application of various modern nanostructure technologies, for example molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), ion beam deposition (IBD). Different other deposition technologies and etching processes in combination with optical and electron beam lithogrophy provide a key feature for the development of optoelectronic devices and nanosystem applications.

In 2 Jahren, wenn die ersten Bachelor Absolventen in den Nanostrukturwissenschaften zu erwarten sind, also im Wintersemester 2012/13 startet der Studiengang Master of Science Nanostrukturwissenschaften.

Nanostructure production and investigation of their fundamental properties and impact on the fields of electronics, mechanics, optics, fluidics, and sensor technology.

Research on the investigation of novel photonic and electronic semiconductor materials and phenomena and the development of devices for key areas such as internet communication, data storage, displays, illumination, environmental monitoring and life sciences.

Dr. Frank Trixler's Mineral Nanoconfinement Research Group at LMU Munich studies processes within nanoconfinements between mineral surfaces, focusing on low-energy growth of organic semiconductor monolayers and nanoscale phenomena relevant to the chemical origin of life.
