Department 2
Research Areas
We push the limits of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Our basic research is focussed on the scientific understanding, design and fabrication of new materials for information, communication, engineering as well as bio-technological applications.
Our capabilities include methods to fabricate nanocrystallites, nanowires and nanotubes, as well as micro- and nanoporous structures for a great variety of materials, including semiconductors, ferroelectrics and composites. Silicon photonics has developed into one of the main research areas of the Department. more...
