Aegerter Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Wulff Possart Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Michael Veith Beisitzer: Dr. Andreas Rammo IAcknowledgment First of all, I would like to express my appreciation to my supervisor Professor Dr. M.A. Aegerter giving me the chance to study under his direction within a talented team of researchers. As my supervisor, he has constantly forced me to remain focused on achieving my goal. His observations and comments helped me to establish the overall direction of the research and to move forward with investigation in depth. He also gave a good proof reading of my thesis. I am grateful to Dr. S. Heusing for generously sharing her time and knowledge in my work and translating the abstract into German. I also want to thank all the colleagues in INM, especially those in our group for their selfless support and encouragement. I am also appreciative of Mrs. M. Bonnard help during this period.
