In the course of my scientific work I focused
on structural aspects and their effects on the physical properties of
monomeric and polymeric materials as well as nanocrystalline systems.
According to the topic I used spectroscopic methods, diffraction methods,
imaging and theoretical calculations. At the moment I focus on the development of
electron diffraction tomography
Electron crystallography
- Development of standard procedures
for structure analysis using electron crystallography
- Liquid crystalline monomers
and polymers with ferroelectric or non-linear optical active properties -
switching simulations and structure analysis
Electron microscopy
- Electron microscopic
Investigations on nanoscopic systems and development of new electron
microscopic methods
X-ray Structure analysis and quantum chemical calculations
- Three centre-interactions
R-Sn···X (R=Hal, Ph, Me; X=NMe, O, S) - An experimental
derived orbital description of Lewis-acidic
tin compounds
