Center for Atomic-scale Materials Physics (CAMP)

The general theme for the research in CAMP is the study of metallic nano-structures and their properties by a closely coupled experimental and theoretical approach. In the present report the research is organized under three main headings:

1. Nano-structures, focused on an understanding of structural, mechanical, and electrical properties of nano-structures.
2. Surface alloys and surface chemical properties, focused on the understanding, design, and synthesis of surfaces and the possibility of modifying and controlling their chemical reactivity.
3. Biomolecules, focused on the understanding of the structure and interactions within proteins, their enzymatic function, and their interactions with solid surfaces.
