Group type: Experiment
Research description:
The goal of our research is to elucidate the laws of magnetism, optics, and electronics at the scale of atoms and molecules. We use low-temperature Scanning-Probe Microscopy to study the basic quantum phenomena behind the macroscopic behavior of matter and to manipulate their basic atomic components. Our research lines study the magnetism of individual atoms and molecules, and their interaction with superconducting surfaces, the atomic-scale construction of quantum devices using atomic and molecular nanostructures, the understanding of light matter-interaction at nanometer length-scales, and the study of complex phenomena in novel 2D materials.
