Rudiger Berger

Rüdiger Berger heads the core facilty Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) for characterizing surface and interface properties. He operates and organizes the laboratory with ten different microscopes from different manufacturers. Typically, scientists from all research groups work in the lab, with currently 30 users of SPM. Rüdiger Berger's research topics are the investigation of electrical properties of surfaces in the nanometer range. He is working on charge transport in solar cells and batteries. He develops methods to study the friction of droplets. In particular, the behavior of droplets at defects and interfaces is investigated.
