About Us
The division of Molecular Surface Physics and Nano Science is a division at Applied Physics IFM, active in the field of Nanomaterial and Molecular thin film physics and spectroscopy. Our main focus is on surface modification for sensing/biorecognition and nanoprobes for biomedical imaging. Biospecific binding phenomena at solid surfaces are investigated. Design and characterization of new and improved nanoprobes for imaging are performed.

- 2011.05.09 The reseach article"Nanoscale Light-Harvesting Metal-Organic Frameworks" was published by Angew. Chem. Highly crystalline nanoparticles of metal–organic frameworks with efficient light-harvesting properties were prepared by coordination-directed assembly (see picture). Functionalization of the ligands with long alkyl chains effectively stabilizes the nanoparticles and increases crystallinity. Different metal ions and ligands are organized into single nanoparticles and both organic acceptors and lanthanide ions can be co-sensitized within the frameworks.
- 2010.12.13 The reseach article" Noradrenaline and a Thiol Analogue on Gold Surfaces: an IRAS, XPS and NEXAFS Study. " was published in Journal of Physical Chemistry C. Self-assembled monolayers and multilayers of a noradrenaline analogue (Nor-Pt) on gold substrates as well as multilayers of noradrenaline have been investigated by means of the molecular orientation, the molecule−surface interaction, the molecular composition and the functional group availability for further biointeraction processes, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared reflection−absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy.
