Materials Research Using High-Resolution Scanning Probe Microscopy

One of the centerpieces of our group is the use of high-resolution scanning probe microscopy to address problems in surface science, with experiments often being performed using our home-build low-temperature, ultrahigh vacuum scanning probe microscope. To illustrate the diversity of topics that can be addressed, we are giving three recent examples in the fields of surface chemistry, electronic materials research, and functional two-dimensional materials. To extract very specifc local information, the measurement schemes applied are continuously improved, as described in the method development section.
