The challenge for silicon particle detectors in future high energy physics experiments caused by extreme radiation fields can only be met by an appropriate defect engineering of the starting material. Appreciable improvements had already been obtained by enriching high resistivity float zone silicon with oxygen as demonstrated by the CERN RD48 coll...

This thesis deals with quantitative studies of equilibrium and non-equilibrium phenomena on Pt(111) and Cu(100) surfaces using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The aim of this work is apply theoretical methods based on statistical physics to determine atomistic energy parameters of surface diffusion processes on metal substrates which cannot be...

In this STM study, nanostructures on metallic single crystals are observed under UHV conditions. The aim of the work at the Au(100)-surface is to evaluate an energetic quantity, namely the step free energy, from a topographic structure information. Adatom and vacancy islands are produced on the tempered reconstructed Au(100)-surface by evaporation ...
