Project description

Miniaturization of electronics has paved the way for device architectures with nanoscale material interfaces. This project seeks a complete understanding of the quantum mechanical properties that dictate the operation of such devices. The project will accomplish this by constructing a new experimental facility at the synchrotron light source ASTRID2 in Aarhus that utilizes photoemission spectroscopy with nanoscale spatial resolution. The grant allows recruitment of one postdoc, one PhD student and purchasing of equipment.
