Silicon Nanostructures
Scientific profile
The research group investigates nanostructured silicon for (bio)photonic applications, e.g. for drug delivery or as a contrast agent for medical imaging. For this purpose, the group combines the synthesis of 0-3D silicon nanostructures using top-down and bottom-up methods with the fundamental structural and electronic characterization of nanostructures, which possess a number of new physical and chemical properties, which are used jointly with partners for applications in (bio)photonics and nanomedicine.
Selected Research Topics
- Poröse Silizium-Nanostrukturen für personalisierte Therapie
- Nanostrukturierte Silizium-Oberflächenengineering für die Wasserstofferzeugung
- Kontrollierte Selbstorganisation von funktionellen Metallen in porösen Matrizen für die Biosensorik
