Our research area covers the chemical, crystal-chemical, and physical characterization of minerals and synthetic inorganic compounds. The focus is on the systematic compilation and standardization of zeolite- and mullite-type compounds as well as the derivation and compilation of optical constants, the development of a comprehensive software package for Rietveld analysis, the display of crystal structures combined with crystal-chemical calculations, the identification and quantification of minerals in marine sediments, and the characterization of technical products. Student training and research are closely related to industrial applications, which is supported by the Central Laboratory for Crystallography and Applied Materials Sciences (ZEKAM) .

Working Area

Zeolites, ion exchangers, catalysts, and mullite-type compounds, ceramic materials, marine sediments, oxidic nanomaterials

Methods

X-ray and neutron diffraction, thermal analysis, crystal growth, crystal optics, molecular modelling with force field and quantum - chemical methods
