Material characteriza­tion on the nanometer scale

In the group of Professor Lukas M. Eng characterization on the nanometer-scale is combined with topical systems of materials science, spanning multiple research areas such as photo-physics, nano-optics, plasmonics, scanning probe microscopy and materials science.

Currently examined materials include (multi-)ferroic systems, plasmonics structures, metamaterials, and 2D-materials. In a modular design, we examine electric, optical, magnetic, piezo-electric, and structural material properties under variable external conditions such as temperature, mechanical stress, magnetic and electric fields.

Our research is structured within the following research teams:

  • Structural properties at low temperatures (SKY),
  • Multiferroic systems (FERROIX),
  • Optical near-field microscopy (SNOM).
