Our research focuses on the formation, structure and properties of low-dimensional materials, such as carbon nanotubes, inorganic nanotubes, nanowires and 2D materials; their characterization by mechanical, electrical, optical and magnetic measurements at the nanometer scale; and their integration into functional nanosystems, such as ultra-miniaturized logic circuits, photodetectors, solar cells, inertial sensors, and potential devices for neuromorphic and quantum computing. Emphasis is placed on understanding and mastering the self-organization of ordered structures and the coupling between different properties that enables new functionalities at the nanoscale.
