Projekt
Characterization of functional organic thin films by high resolution atomic force microscopy (B07)
Subject Area
Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Term
from 2008 to 2017
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 49579428
Structural and chemical properties of organic/inorganic hybrid interfaces are studied by high resolution imaging and force spectroscopy. Molecular assemblies are imaged with sub-molecular resolution with functionalized probe tips. Molecule-substrate interactions and surface diffusion properties are studied by measuring forces during controlled manipulations of organic units. Due to the high technological relevance of the interface formation between functional organic layers and metal oxides (e.g. for organic semiconductor devices), we focus on this class of materials as substrates.
