Interested in a Bachelor/Master thesis?
Our daily
work is on experimental surface science with the focus on scanning
probe
techniques. In addition to scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and
spectroscopy (STS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Kelvin force microscopy, LEED, Auger as
well as
transport and optical measurements are applied to a variety of
fundamental
questions. While working in our group, you will learn to handle
ultrahigh vacuum
systems,
ultra-low temperatures, sophisticated electronic equipment or
controlling a modern
experimental setup by digital signal processors. Together with a PhD student
and other students you will work as a team.
In the following, you'll find a few topics for a possible Bachelor-
und Master
thesis.
This is not meant as a complete list, but should give you a feeling of
our
work.
If this
fits to your expectation of a bachelor or master Thesis, please feel
free to come around!
We
are
always looking for eager persons who want to work in our Group.
To be best prepared for a master thesis in our group, we have collected a few advices.
Our group offers two experiments for the lab practicals that give an insight into our research field. In the Bachelor's Advanced Lab Course "Scanning Tunneling Microscope (H1)" and in the Master's Research Lab Coarse "Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) on Epitaxial Graphene".
Bachelor Theses planned within the next 6 months (as of December 2020)
- Transport properties of doped graphene
- Investigation of the temperature dependence of the surface conductivity of iridates
- Construction of a UHV atomic force microscope
- Investigation of charge transport in doped graphene by KPFM (Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy)
- Growth and local excitation of molecules on surfaces
Master theses planned withing the next 6 months (as of December 2020)
- Currently we have 4 master students in our group. If you are interested in a master thesis, please send an email to: martin.wenderoth at uni-goettingen.de.
