Ulf-Niklas Berninger
Research interests:
My ressearch interests focus on the interaction of aqueous solutions
with crystal surfaces. The dynamic and microscopic evolution of
surfaces and their influence on growth and dissolution mechanisms are
a key to the understanding of growth and dissolution kinetics on the
macroscopic scale.
