We focus on several research topics, mainly centered around scanning probe techniques (STM and AFM)
Complex materials, perovskites
- Surface scinece of complex materials (ternary compounds, layered structures). We mainly work with cleaved single crystals.
- Perovskite oxides (mainly titanates, tantalates and niobates)
- Organohalide perovskites
- Surfaces with uncompensated polarity (e.g., mica), scintillating materials (NaI:Eu)
- Anything interesting ...
