                          Research

                          We develop and utilise diverse neutron and complementary X-ray methods to investigate energy materials and energy technology systems in-situ and operando. Our aim is to understand the structure and dynamics of materials at the atomic and molecular level in order to determine macroscopic properties and thereby improve applications.

                          Ion Mobility

                          The project aims at studying the impact of lattice dynamics and oxygen ordering on the amplification of oxygen mobility at low temperature in the non stochiometric K2NiF4-type Ruddlesden-Popper phases.

                          Nanostructured interfaces

                          In batteries and electrolytes, in fuel cells, in heterogeneous catalysis and in nanotechnology itself - nanostructured interfaces are the source of material functionality in a wide range of applications.

                          Thin Films and Interfaces

                          Owing to intrinsic size effects and reduced dimensionality, thin films with material thicknesses in the atomic, nanometre and sub-micrometre range can exhibit properties that differ greatly in their mechanical, metallic or optical properties from those of the corresponding bulk material.
