Nanocomposite coatings composed of two phases with atomically sharp phase boundaries, show interesting mechanical properties. These properties are often originating from their high interface to volume ratio. Composites of nanocrystalline titanium nitride ( ...
This thesis presents our studies on nanostructures growth and magnetism, mainly based on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements. In most of these experiments, nanos ...
Thin films of MnSi(111) in B20 structure formed by reactive epitaxy on Si(111) are studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory calculations. Coexisting root 3 x root 3 structures with high or low corrugation are observed ...
Recent advances in low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) have provided new opportunities for the investigation of the local geometric, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of nanostructures. This review focuses ...
Polycrystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) films, prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition are investigated in this thesis. ZnO belongs to the class of transparent conductive oxide materials, as it is transparent to light from the visible to the near-infra ...
Mesoscopic sensitized solar cells are one of the most promising third-generation photovoltaic technologies. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), imitating the photosynthesis of green plants, were the first photovoltaic devices to utilize a mesoscopic heteroj ...
Single-crystalline Bi2Te2Se nanoplates with thicknesses between 8 and 30 nm and lateral sizes of several micrometers were synthesized by a vapour-solid growth method. Angle-dependent magnetoconductance measurements on individual nanoplates revealed the pre ...
We investigate the effects of Na adsorption on the electronic structure of bare and Ir cluster superlattice-covered epitaxial graphene on Ir(111) using angleresolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. At Na saturation coverage, a ...
One central aim of nanotechnology is the creation and exploitation of nanostructured materials with pre-programmed architecture and properties. The fabrication of functional nanostructures relies on versatile protocols of synthetic chemistry enabling the p ...
The exploration of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and understanding of the structure-property relationship requires the synthesis of GNRs with precisely controllable architecture. In this communication we report on bottom-up fabrication of wide armchair GNR f ...
