In the field of materials synthesis<\/em>, novel semiconductor materials and crystallization processes are being developed for electronic, photonic, and acoustic applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research focus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One focus is on the synthesis of nitride materials, including ammonothermal crystal growth, in which supercritical ammonia is used to produce high-quality single crystals and substrate materials. Materials and process engineering approaches to crystal growth and the targeted adjustment of electronic, structural, chemical, and further functional properties are researched, as well as the necessary technological and methodological developments, which are of great importance due to the challenging conditions of the ammonothermal process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A methodically central aspect is therefore the development and use of advanced high pressure technologies, including X-ray-based and optical in-situ measurement methods, which enable direct, quantitative observation of solution, transport, and crystallization processes under process conditions. Through the combination of material synthesis, in situ monitoring, and process analysis, the underlying chemical-physical mechanisms are systematically elucidated, the reproducibility of experimental processes is improved, and the development of new material systems that can be integrated with established III-nitride technologies is advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
