Michael Schnedler

A member of PGI-5 Institute for Microstructure Research.

Being member of Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy group, my research is dedicated to following projects:

Characterization of novel (ternary) nitride semiconductors by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS), e.g. GaN, InN, AlInN, AlGaN, etc.
Defects in (light-excited) semiconductors and their influence on the electric properties
Investigation of device structures like LEDs by STM
III-V compound semiconductor nanowires for future lighting applications or energy harvesting

Updated list of publication can be found at ORCID and ResearchGate.

Quantitative STM and STS of III-V compound semiconductors (including nitride-based semiconductors)
Sample preparation for STM & STS
Simulation of potential & carrier distribution in semiconductors under non-equilibrium conditions
Tunnel current simulations (including tip-induced band bending)
Principal component analysis
Software development (for analysis and simulation) primarily by using Pascal, but also Python, C, PHP, etc.
