about nanoMA

The center of nanostructured materials and analytics has been initiated by four different research groups

to stimulate and to concentrate their interaction in the field of design and analytics of nanostructured materials. This effort shares a variety of design facilities such as conventional deposition techniques, lithographic patterning (AFM/STM or µCP) as well as expertise in the field of self-assembly and self-organization to combine and to modify materials creating new physical properties and function. To explore these materials a broad range of standard analysis tools as well as highly advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques for studying structural, mechanical, electronic and optical properties with sensitivities down to the single molecule level are available.

scientific background

The scientific background of the center depends to a great deal on previous research activities at the Chemnitz University of Technology such as the Innovation College “Methods and Materials for the Nanometerscale” (DFG-funding 1994-1998) and the Graduate College “Thin films and disordered materials” (DFG-funding 1992-2002). Presently the center contributes to the research activities
