About the course

We investigate fundamental physics on the nanoscale – which is to say, on the scale of single atoms and molecules. Using advanced microscopy and other techniques which can generate direct images of atoms and molecules and tell us which elements they are made of, we can find out details which help us develop the technologies of the future. Scanning tunnelling microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction (including spot-profile analysis), ultra high vacuum, energy, graphene, molecules, fullerenes, excitonic solar cells, molecular electronics. Investigations of graphene, a new supermaterial that promises applications in highly-efficient solar power generation, display technologies and transparent, flexible electronics. Investigations of quasicrystals, exotic materials that defy conventional rules of matter. Investigations of the interactions of molecules with surfaces of interest, in particular with a view to molecular electronics. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
