The research is in the field of new inorganic materials or known functional materials with a novel form. A general feature is the demanding synthetical approach of the compounds with high purity. The typical characterization methods comprise X-ray and neutron diffraction at single crystals and polycrystalline powders, thermochemical analysis and chemical solid-state analysis as well as the determination of relevant properties (Magnetism, transport characteristics, mechanical properties etc.)

The currently offered topics comprise:

• Novel metal-rich Nitrides
  
  • Synthesis of ternary nitrides with inverted perovskite structure
  • Synthesis in metal ampoules under inert gas atmosphere
  • Structure elucidation using X-ray and neutron diffraction

• Ammonothermal synthesis von semiconductors und intermediates during the synthesis
  • Synthesis of M_xGa_1−xN (M = Sc, Cr)
  • Synthesis ammonoacidic Al-compounds and characterization via NMR-spectroscopy
  • NMR-spectroscopical investigations  on the system Ga/ANH₂ (A = alkaline metal)
  • Optimisation of the InN-synthesis
  • Synthesis of ternary transition metal zinc nitrides  and transition metal earth alkaline metal nitrides
  • Characterization of amidohydroxidozincates

• Synthesis of novel Ferrites
  • Synthesis of novel (nitrogen-containing) Ferrites
  • Multinary Oxoruthenates

• Electrochemical synthesis of Nitrides
  • Electrochemical synthesis in salt melts

• Nitrides under High Pressure/Hard materials
