GRK 829:  Accumulation of Single Molecules to Nanostructures

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry
• Term: from 2002 to 2005
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 273539

Ten research groups in the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Chemistry of the Faculty of Science have created an unique research program dealing with the following topics:-- Synthesis of new molecules with optimized aggregation properties.-- Aggregation of single atoms and molecules to nano-structures.-- Formation of complex nanostructures via a well defined number of molecules.-- Optimisation and control of the optical and electronic properties of aggregated nanostructures.-- Theoretical understanding of structures and corresponding properties of heterogeneous many component systems.-- Parallel to the interdisciplinary research work there will be a curriculum partly in English concentrating on topics in close relation to the research program of the research training group.
