I want to express my thanks to Prof. Rüdiger Bormann for his guidance and advice, for the constructive periodic discussions, from which I learned how to develop a deeper phenomenological perspective and how to separate objective observations from subjective points of view. Especially I want to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Martin Dornheim for his friendly and direct supervision and his support during all my PhD work at the Department of Nanotechnology at the GKSS Research Centre (today Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht).
