Special features regarding the international orientation

Students are involved in international research cooperations of the work groups, the proportion of students of a class who take advantage of this option for exchange is about 5 percent.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Université Paris Est Créteil Val de Marne; Université de Fribourg.

Special features regarding the equipment

The technical equipment is excellent and includes organo-metallic chemical vapour deposition facility (MOCVD), central Microstructure Centre with transmission and field electron microscopy, Centre for X-Ray Diffraction, various parallel computers and a 7 Tesla whole-body human magnetic resonance tomography device.

Special features regarding research activities

Key areas of our research are Semiconductor Nanostructures for Micro and Optoelectronics, Wide Bandgap Semi-Conductors for Optoelectronics and Sensorics, Manufacture and Characterisation of Functional Layers, Adaptive Materials, Non-Linear Physics, Soft Matter, Biomedical Magnetic Resonance (7 Tesla MRT), Self-Organisation and Structure Formation.
