Unser Forschung untersucht die physikalischen Grundlagen von Energieumwandlungsprozessen in neuartigen Materialien und Nanostrukturen. Unser Interesse gilt Umwandlungsprozessen an Oberflächen und Grenzflächen jenseits idealisierter Modellsysteme. Ziel ist es den Einfluss nanoskaliger Materialeigenschaften auf die makroskalige Effizienz komplexer Materialarchitekturen zu verstehen. Zu diesem Zweck kommen neuartige Rasterkraftmikroskopiemethoden zum Einsatz, welche Reaktionsprozesse, Ladungstransport und Materialänderungen lokal auflösen
