Mission Statement
The focus of our research program is to apply the recently developed tools, techniques and materials to the emerging field of Nanoelectronics. In particular, our goal is to provide experimental data that will allow the stringent testing of modelling. Modelling is very important in understanding the Nanoworld, but many common approximations have not been tested experimentally. Experiments that control all degrees of freedom are crucial, as this leaves no room for (educated) guessing, fitting or fudging the interpretation of the data. Scanning probe microscopy is an ideal tool for these experiments, as it allows one to perform imaging, manipulation and measurements from the mesoscopic submicron regime down to the atomic level. Once one understands the fundamental science, engineering rules of thumb can be developed and applied to the emerging field of Nanotechnology.
