Research (Schneider)

Research Interests

We are an experimental group working in the area of surface physics and chemistry. Our main aim is to determine the atomic structure of surfaces and adsorbates on surfaces with their properties. Our main tools for this are Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Density Functional Theory (DFT).

Research News

The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) has awarded funding to the group for the investigation of the growth and structure of ultra-thin transition metal telluride films. Such films find applications as thermoelectrics, sensors, phase-change materials, etc. But more int...
