Klingeler group
The team's activities include synthesis of new materials as well as investigation of magnetic, electronic and structural properties. The focus in materials research includes (1) metal-organic coordination compounds and magnetic molecules, (2) Carbon-based nanomaterials and hierarchically structured nanocomposites, (3) functional oxides (e.g., multiferroics) and, (4) carbon-wrapped nanomagnets. In addition to fundamental research, applications mainly aim at electrochemical energy storage (Li-/Na-ion batteries; organic batteries), nanomedical and biomedical studies, as well as molecular spinelectroics. It is, e.g., illustrated by the recent collaborative BMBF project SpinFun (SpinFun: Magnetische Funktionsmaterialien für die molekulare Spinelektronik und magnetische Sensorik) which involves various CAM groups.
