Hans Fischer Senior Fellow

Education
(reword) "In 1989, he obtained his Diploma in Physics from the Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München and in 1992 his PhD in Physical Chemistry under the guidance of Profs. Gerhard Ertl (2007 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry) and Jürgen Behm at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin." https://www.ias.tum.de/ias/brune-harald/

Career
(REWORD)"He has joined the group of Prof. Klaus Kern as postdoctoral Fellow at EPFL, where he earned the Latsis Award 1996 for his studies on the self-assembly of metal nanostructures at metal surfaces. In 1998, Harald Brune has been nominated Reader (MER) in Nanophysics at EPFL, has received an offer for a Chair (C4) at Philipps-Universität Marburg and accepted the counteroffer of EPFL. He is Fellow of the American Physical Society and member of the research council of the Swiss National Science Foundation." https://www.ias.tum.de/ias/brune-harald/

rESEARCH INTERESTS
(REWORD"We are interested in the study and engineering of novel physical and chemical properties of nanostructures at single crystal surfaces and of interfaces between atomic layers. The nanostructures are either created by self-assembly at template surfaces or in the gas phase from where they are size-selected and soft-landed onto the substrate of interest. The atomic layers are metals, oxides, graphene, and hexagonal Boron Nitride. Atomic scale control during the growth and in-situ analysis of magnetic, catalytic, and electronic properties aim at a fundamental understanding with the perspective of atomic scale engineering of functionality. Major directions are quantum magnetism, materials for ultra-high density magnetic information storage, heterogeneous catalysis at surfaces and on small metal clusters, novel low-dimensional materials for electronic devices." https://www.ias.tum.de/ias/brune-harald/
