Center for Interface-Dominated High Performance Materials (ZGH)

The objective of the Center for Interface-Dominated High Performance Materials (Zentrum für Grenzflächendominierte Höchstleistungs-werkstoffe, ZGH) at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) is to develop new metallic, semiconducting and dielectric materials through comprehensive understanding and design of material interfaces, and thus to take advantage of new combinations of structural and functional properties. High performance materials will be investigated by means of a combination of multi-scale experiments and simulations, starting from the atomic through the mesoscopic level up to component dimensions.
