Prof. Dr. Günter Reiss holds a chair for Thin Films and Physics of Nanostructures at Bielefeld University.
The main activities comprise research on ultrathin magnetic film systems, including investigations on new materials and engineering of band structures and interfaces. Nanopatterning of devices is a central technological know-how of the group and serves both for exploring basic physical properties of new phenomena such as spin dependent tunneling as well as for prototyping devices for sensor- and datastorage technologies.
