Nanostructures play an important role. Applications include the development of new catalysts. Advanced experimental techniques are used in combination with theoretical work in statistical thermodynamics and computational chemistry and physics. Applications include corrosion prevention, high-strength fibres and food technology. Research topics include amorphous and porous semiconductors, mesoscopic semiconductor structures and electroluminescence.
Application are, for example, solar cells.
