Rolf Möller

The Möller working group at the Faculty of Physics, University of Duisburg-Essen specializes in surface physics, electron transport, and nanoscale imaging. Their research employs advanced techniques like scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and contact electrification analysis to study electronic properties of heterostructures, quantum phenomena on surfaces, and molecular layer dynamics.

• Current Research:
  • Investigating contact electrification mechanisms using microsecond-scale charge measurement
  • Exploring surface states in precious metals and their interaction with adsorbates
  • Analyzing electron transport in topological insulators and ultrathin films
• Key Publications Trends: Recent work focuses on quantum transport, phase transitions, and electron dynamics in nanostructures. Articles from 2021–2016 highlight surface charge analysis, molecular reaction pathways, and thermoelectric effects.
• Instrumentation: The group develops high-precision sensors like sub-attoampere electrometers and terahertz STM systems for ultrafast measurements.
