Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Marie-Louise Saboungi is one of the internationally most recognised pioneers in using neutron and X-ray scattering methods to uncover and understand the behaviour of complex materials. Amongst her many particularly significant discoveries are a new type of magneto-resistance in silver-chalcogelides and the peculiar microscopic dynamics of extremely high temperature melt of aluminium oxide. Her research has an outstanding interdisciplinary character including the study of nano-composite matter with biological compounds. The first successful threading of a polymer inside carbon nano-tubes is a most recent outstanding success of her. Her research plan for her Humboldt tenure includes the use of advanced methods of neutron scattering available at the Berlin Neutron Scattering Center (BENSC) at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut in the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers (HGF) for the investigation of the microscopic structure and dynamical behaviour of polymers in a variety of nano-scale confined environments, a subject of highest current interest.
