Abstract:
Project A6 combines the findings from the first funding period, which investigated the transport properties of metallic nanowires as well as inorganic nanoparticles as a function of microstructure and microstructure with c-AFM and electron microscopy methods. The follow-up project will address the electrical and optical properties of nanoparticle-filled nanowire composites. The focus of the investigations is on the microscopic understanding of the charge carrier transport between the semiconducting matrix and the metallically conductive nanowires. In situ X-ray spectroscopy under light (c-AFM and STM) should provide insight into the electrical processes at the interfaces.
