Scalar fields provide an intuitive picture of chemical bonding. In particular, the electron localization function (ELF) has proven to be highly valuable in interpreting a broad range of bonding patterns. The discrimination between enhanced or reduced elect ...
For many years, electron energy-loss (EEL) spectroscopy has been used to analyse the near-edge structure of the carbon ionization K-edge. Amorphous carbon has perhaps one of the most well known carbon ionization edges, with the spectrum featuring a large, ...
In this thesis we study the electronic structure of different two-dimensional (2D) electron systems with angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). This technique is based on the photoelectric effect and directly probes the electronic structure o ...
Cu-cotton fabrics were functionalized by bipolar asymmetric DC-pulse magnetron sputtering (DCP). The DCP of Cu-particles on cotton proceeds at a higher energy than DC-magnetron sputtering (DC). The different sputtering mode showed effects on the structure ...
A slice of the Havero meteorite which belongs to the ureilite class known to contain graphite and diamond was cut and then polished as a thin section using a diamond paste. We identified two carbonaceous areas which were standing out by more than 10 pm in ...
We demonstrate a standard-free method to retrieve compositional information in AlxIn1-xN thin films by measuring the bulk plasmon energy (E-p), employing electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). Two se ...
Recently, the dynamics of atomic distances and orbital charge in graphite has been investigated by ultra-fast electron diffraction, electron energy loss spectroscopy and transient optical absorption. A subtle interplay between structural motions and electr ...
WC/amorphous carbon (a-C) thin films were deposited by dual magnetron sputtering from individual WC and graphite targets. The influence of film composition and microstructure on the optical and electrical properties was investigated. As evidenced by x-ray ...
Molecular self-assembly at metal surfaces has been recognized as an efficient strategy to create supramolecular nanoarchitectures with promising functionalities. The focus of this thesis lies on the strong electron accepting molecule 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquin ...
Model structures of substoichiometric germanium oxide generated by ab initio molecular dynamics reveal a rich variety of bonding configurations, including threefold coordinated Ge and O atoms which correspond to valence alternation pairs. A sizable fractio ...
