SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS
As a material scientist, I am interested in the relation between the geometric
arrangement of structural units and the resulting electronic structure and
physical/chemical properties of materials.
I am specialized in the field of analytical electron microscopy (scanning electron
microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron
diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron energy loss
spectrometry, image simulation). The combination of these techniques with abinitio band structure calculations of the electronic structure and the simulation of
electron energy loss spectra allows a detailed interpretation of spectral data
obtained at ultimate spatial resolution in the electron microscope. Atomically
resolved imaging and the combined theoretical/experimental approach provides
a unique tool for the study of advanced nanostructured materials. At the FritzHaber-Institute we have developed in-situ scanning electron microscopy for the
study of catalytic reactions on surfaces under catalytically relevant conditions.
My group is further working on the development of a micro-reactor for the
coupling of catalytic reactions with electron microscopy via identical location
TEM and the application of MEMS based holders for in-situ TEM.
