Our group focuses on advancing the state of the art in Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) techniques in order to understand fundamental and technological problems in condensed matter physics. Our expertise focuses on atomically resolved structural, electronic and magnetic imaging of surfaces at cryogenic temperatures near absolute zero and in high magnetic fields, often combined with various scannning probe spectroscopy techniques and with atomic manipulation. For details, please see our Research page.
The Scanning Probe Microscopy department is part of the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) at Radboud University, Nijmegen. The IMM is an interdisciplinary research institute in chemistry and physics. Its mission is to perform fundamental research to understand, design and control the functioning of molecules and materials and to train the next generation of leaders in science and entrepreneurship at the highest international standards. Within the IMM, the SPM group participates in the research theme Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials.
