Materials, Interfaces, Semiconductors

Unlimited possibilities: Physics and chemistry are complementary sciences. Together, they create the foundations for future communication and energy technologies, for example.

Marburg chemists synthesise molecules and materials with specific properties, while physicists conduct functional research. Semiconductor research and optoelectronics are fields in which Marburg's natural scientists have internationally recognised expertise. At Philipps-Universität, functional materials based on semiconductors, surfaces and interfaces are being researched in a collaborative research center and, in the future, also in the research building ATEMMA (Advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy, Marburg). Chemistry is a cross-sectional science that also provides important impulses for the life sciences.
