Welcome to the NanoScience research group at the Fachbereich Physik of Universität Osnabrück!
Our research is focused on the characterisation and manipulation of dielectric surfaces and molecular nanostructures on dielectric surfaces. The main experimental method employed is dynamic scanning force microscopy operated in the non-contact mode (NC-AFM). Structural characterisation at the atomic scale is complemented by exploring surface electronic properties with metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES). >>>

| We received funding for a project entitled "spin quantum computing based on endohedral fullerenes with integrated single-spin read-out via nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond". The project is a cooperation between three research groups and will be funded for an initial period of three years by the VolkswagenStiftung in the framework of their program "integration of molecular components in functional macroscopic systems". >>> | ||
