Objective
This project aims to improve the technology of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and dedicated nanoscopic electrical measurement by the development and application of specially designed nanoelectrodes. The project will build on the results of previous research by the participants and use already developed nanoelectrodes and nanotips of the desired shape and size and from different materials, which is important for analytical purposes.
Previous efforts to develop molecular wires and molecular switches will also continue, using theoretical and experimental research of one of the participants. A further aim of the project is to develop techniques for analytical measurements on surfaces with atomic lateral resolution by the application of probe tips of specially designed composition.
The high resolution STM and AFM structural investigations on DNA, RNA and nucleoprotein-organisations require specially shaped probe tips. These specially shaped tips for STM and AFM will provide insight into the surface grain boundary structure of polycrystals and nanocrystals.
The joint project will focus the efforts of the participating groups towards the application of dedicated nanoelectrodes and thereby accelerate common progress in the above-mentioned scientific fields.
