The Laboratory of Nanostructures at Surfaces, led by Prof. Harald Brune, focuses on exploring the physical and chemical properties of metallic nanostructures at the nanoscale. By utilizing self-assembly techniques, they engineer nanostructures with specific properties like magnetic anisotropy, spin-polarization, and chemical reactivity. Their research delves into understanding the magnetic behavior of transition metal particles, investigating nanocatalysis inspired by enzymatic cofactors, and studying epitaxial growth of thin films and single crystals. Additionally, they delve into nanotribology to uncover unique phenomena in friction at the nanoscale.
