Orbital mapping

• Applicant: Professorin Dr. Ute Kaiser
• Co-Applicants: Professorin Dr. Claudia Draxl; Professor Dr. Peter Schattschneider
• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2010 to 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 183877235

The aim of this project is the development of a new method to obtain orbital information from element specific signals in the electron microscope. The combination of the theory to be developed with the experimental proof of principle that the energy filtered image carries orbital information (to be performed on the best available microscopes) is a prerequisite for future direct mapping of orbitals and bonds in the solid.
