Overview of Scanning Probe Technologies
We explore the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of micro- and nano-structures. We work in an interdisciplinary and friendly atmosphere composed of physicist, mechanical and electrical engineers.
Research
- Atomic Force Microscopy:
The analysis and development of new techniques for the microscopy and spectroscopy of surfaces on the nano-scale allows new insights into the nanoworld.
- Current project: Cold atom scanning probe technology
- Responsible person: Dr. Julia Syurik
- Nano-Tribology:
The exploration of the mechanical properties of nano-contacts and their frictional forces helps to understand the origin of friction and wear.
- Mechanical Nano- and Micro-Resonators:
Small mechanical resonators are frequently used as sensors. Due to their tiny size they sometimes reveal interesting physical effects not observable at the macro scale.
- Current project: TMR sensor for AFM
- Responsible person: Tobias Meier
- Biomimetics:
Some animals, insects and plants show fascinating surface effects caused by their specific microscopic surface structure. We analyse these phenomena and frequently it is possible to mimic them using nano- and microreplication techniques (cooperation with FuE3).
Current projects:
- Rapid prototyping of Gecko adhesives and Production and analysis of functional biomimetic surfaces
- Responsible person: Michael Röhrig
- Biomimetics of the optical surfaces of butterfly structures
- Responsible person: Radwanul Hasan Siddique
- Water harvesting technique of desert beetles
- Responsible person: Andreas Höpf
- Nano-Transistor:
Standby switches in electronic devices are currently responsible for the loss of 6.5% of the annual electricity consumption of an average household, and this value is predicted to increase to 15% by 2030. The project goal is the development of a standby switch device with nearly zero power consumption.
- Current project: Development of single atom transistor
- Responsible person: Dr. Maryna Kavelenka
