The field of nanowires and nanotubes shows fascinating prospects for basic as well as for applied research. Solid state structures of sufficiently small dimensions change their optical, electronic and magnetic properties compared to their macroscopic bulk counterparts. The aim of the Priority Programme is the realisation of (non-carbon) nanowires and nanotubes in a controlled way mainly based on template methods. The programme is focusing on the following three points:
1. Developing and Cross Linking of Template Preparation, Controlled Growth of the Desired Structures and Theoretical Understanding
These tasks include:
-- coordinated development of various template approaches
-- theoretical understanding and experimental control of the nanowire and nanotube growth process applied to semiconductors, isolators and metals
-- theoretical understanding of surface and interface properties, including aspects of material science
-- quantum mechanical based calculations of structural, mechanical and electronic properties of the nano-ensembles under investigation
2. Preparation, Characterisation and Modelling of Ordered Nanosystems
These tasks include:
-- preparation of nanowires and nanotubes with a controlled arrangement and desired structural, mechanical, chemical, optical and electronic properties, i.e. the control of self-organised processes in a sub-micrometer and nanometer range and the control of surface properties on a nanometer scale
-- complex characterisation of the structural, mechanical, chemical, optical, electronic and magnetic properties and the development of respective characterisation methods
-- theoretical modelling of metal-semiconductor contacts on the nanometer scale and of the influence of interfaces and quantum effects
3. The Realisation of Functions and Cross Linking
These tasks include:
-- development of functional groups from ordered nanowires and nanotubes
-- development of concepts regarding the three-dimensional cross-linking of functional devices
-- development of applied functional groups, i.e. groups for use in electronics, nanophotonics, biotechnology and other fields of interest
