We aim at providing an atomic level understanding of fundamental physical properties of structural and functional materials. Applications range from modern steels to novel computer memories and include low-dimensional materials as well as hybrids between hard and soft matter. Interdisciplinary activities focus on materials for energy harvesting, storage and conversion.

The Coordination and Infrastructure division (ER-C-KI) handles general administration, management and infrastructure issues originating from the operation of the ER-C as a combined research laboratory and national users centre. The division operates the ER-C office and is the first point of contact for business and research partners as well as guest researchers when it comes to the processing of organisational tasks and the administrative guidance of research projects
