Nanotubes and Nanowires
We study electrical properties of Carbon Nanotubes and other nanowires.
The leads to the nanotube shown in the image are fabricated by e-beam lithography.

Cryogenic scanning microscopy

We use home-build low-temperature Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) to study Carbon Nanotubes by Tunneling Spectroscopy at Scanning Gate Microscopy.

Self-assembled DNA templates (somewhat outdated page prepared by Sung Ha Park)
This DNA lattice with a 20 nm period is self-assembled in solution.
We also metallize DNA for electrical transport measurements.
