Specific Duties

The DFG-funded Research Training Group NANOHYBRID (GRK 2536) includes 16 research projects in the fields of chemical synthesis, physical characterization, and theoretical modeling.

Within a strongly interdisciplinary approach, the members of the Research Training Group will develop innovative methods to tailor the shape and function of nanoscopic systems using modern concepts of inorganic, macromolecular, and theoretical chemistry. In addition, they will develop techniques for building-up macroscopic assemblies and oriented arrangements of the nanostructures. They will work on applications of those nanostructures in macroscopic functional devices. Key elements of the research projects are semiconducting and metallic building blocks, which shall be combined to anisotropic heterostructures. In parallel, the hybridstructures can be bridged by functional molecules to form two-dimensional networks, or will be arranged within three-dimensional polymeric or inorganic matrices. An essential characteristic of the research and training program is the strong interaction between experiment and theory, which will lead to a deep understanding of the collective properties of inorganic hybrid structures.
