Over the years we have been working in close collaboration with other institutions including experimental groups as well as theoretical groups which support us with first-principle calculations in order to obtain a complete understanding of the surface dynamics of the investigated samples.
For students interested to join our group we may also be able to organise a research stay at the institution of one of our collaborators.
