Research at the IPC
This page provides an overview of the research groups active at the Institute of Physical Chemistry. These groups work in close co-operation with groups belonging to other institutes at Göttingen University and with several Max Planck Institutes in various research networks, the majority of which are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Besides, the IPC offers services to other research groups and institutes through its research facilities. A short review of the various research topics can be found here.
