General research interests

Fundamental understanding of forces between a nanometer-sized tip and sample are investigated by scanning probe microscopy, including atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. Special emphasis is put on nanomechanical aspects of friction, elasticity, adhesion and wear. High-resolution force microsopy is performed on single molecules and molecular assemblies. Electronic and magnetic properties are determined on this scale.
