Studies of the physics of surfaces and interfaces by STM, electron spectroscopic and optical techniques. We work with studies of the fundamental mechanisms of magnetoresistivity at the nanometer scale and the dependence on the choice of material.
Scanning tunnelling microscopy group has two major lines of research activities primarily based on the scanning tunnelling microscopy instruments; nanomagnetics and surface science. There are two ultra high vacuum STM's operated by the group, one of which has been upgraded with sources and electron energy analyser for UPS/XPS analysis. In addition to this we have two scanning probe microscopes.
