A PhD studentship is available in the Emmy Noether Group of Dr. Matthias Arenz at the Technical University of Munich in the field of Electrocatalysis and Cluster Science. In this project the influence of the particle size and the electronic structure of size-selected, supported clusters on electrocatalytic reactions will be studied by means of FTIR, … [More Info]

The project goal is a defined chemical modification of polymeric walls in small cavities of nanoliter size by low temperature plasma. Your aim will be to optimize the means of the energy coupling into the plasma, gas composition, its pressure and flow. The feedback for the optimization will be provided by suitable plasma diagnostics and … [More Info]

Today integrated circuits exhibit rapidly increasing power dissipation due to static leakage in idle circuits. Innovative device technology on its own does not provide scalable leakage-problem solutions that manage to keep up with increasing device density. Leakage already now can present insurmountable design obstacles to energy-limited embedded Systems-On-Chips. To pave the way for future, dense … [More Info]
