Preparation, imaging and investigation of magnetic molecules on surfaces

• Applicant: Professorin Dr. Marika Schleberger
• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2002 to 2007
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5368720

The main goal of the project is to establish suitable preparation techniques that allow the controlled deposition of magnetic molecules on well defined surfaces. This is a prerequisite for potential future molecular electronic devices based on either discrete molecules, mesoscopic clusters, or ordered layers of magnetic molecules. In a second step, after the successful preparation, we want to manipulate and investigate the electronic and magnetic properties by means of scanning probe methods.
