Research structure
The Departments
The institute is organized in three research departments and one department for technology and service.
This organizational structure represents the area of competence of
the PDI staff and the corresponding allocation of research
equipment:
The Core Research Areas
The research is carried out in interdisciplinary core research areas, in which scientists, engineers, and technicians from the three research groups collaborate for a certain period.
At present, the six core research areas of the PDI are:
- Ferromagnet-Semiconductor Hybrid Structures
- Control of Elementary Excitations by Acoustic Fields
- Group-III Nitrides for Optoelectronics
- Intersubband Emitters: GaAs-based Quantum-Cascade-Lasers
- Nanoanalytics
- Nanofabrication
