Introduction
Within the
"NTH School for Contacts in Nanosystems"
four initiatives and projects have been defined.
The topics range from theoretical modelling of contacts and
interaction effects, via large gap, functionalized semiconductor
nanostructures to transport phenomena in quantum dots/graphene.
Our project P1 relates to aspects of energy
conversion in molecular contacts. For this instance we prepare nanocontacts using self-organized porous templates with Au/Ag wires
and molecules in close proximity. Different
spectroscopic and real space experimental tools will be used to
excite and probe the contact. Theoretical modelling will be
performed with state of the art code development. Our work are
performed together with
Peter Blöchl,
Winfried Daum (Clausthal)
and Karina
Morgenstern,
Herbert Pfnür (Hannover), see our activities on nanotemplates,
Tip-enhanced spectroscopy
and light-matter interaction within
the AG Lemmens.
