Molecular Nanosystems
We are an interdisciplinary team of physicists, chemists, engineers and nanotechnologists developing approaches for single molecule sensing. Our research focuses in particular on single-molecule biosensing using nano-plasmonic and nanophotonic approaches for monitoring in the environment, industrial processes and healthcare. In the field of molecular electronics, we use various methods of micro- and nanotechnology as well as molecular and colloidal self-organization to realize them. We are exploring the transport properties of novel molecular architectures on various semiconductor and metal oxide surfaces and in nanoscale contact geometries.
