Assembling vertical heterostructures from two-dimensional (2D) materials in a scalable and spatially controlled way is still a major challenge. In a joint work, teams from the Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Freie Universität Berlin, from the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy at FAU, ...

Recently, a team from the Chair of Experimental Physics, together with colleagues from the Department of Chemistry, developed a novel method to achieve spatially controlled non-covalent functionalization of twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) by using its moiré lattice as a template for the functionali...

Atomically thin, two-dimensional semiconductors are widely used to create platforms for the investigation of physical phenomena like superconductivity. In order to build suitable structures, single-layer materials are stacked on top of each other to form multi-layered sandwiches. However, only if th...

Abstract deadline approaching: Nov 24, 2023. The 36th International Winterschool on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials (IWEPNM) will take place from March 09 until March 15, 2024 in Kirchberg/Tirol, Austria. Our mission is to give a broad overview over the physics and chemistry of carbon...

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student with background in condensed-matter physics. The research project on “Optical and vibrational signatures of edge topology in novel graphene nanoribbons“ is embedded in the DFG-funded  Research Training Group RTG 2861 “Planar Carbon Lattices (PCL)”...

The Research Training Group on Planar Carbon Lattices (RTG2861-PCL) will offer 14 positions as Doctoral Researcher / PhD student starting April 1, 2023 and comprising 75 % of the full-time weekly hours. The employment contract is initially limited for 36 months, but ends prematurely at the end of th...

The 35th International Winterschool on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials (IWEPNM) will take place from March 18 until March 24, 2023 in Kirchberg/Tirol, Austria. Our mission is to give a broad overview over the physics and chemistry of carbon nanostructures, two-dimensional materials and top...

The new Research Training Group (RTG) 2861 of TU Dresden and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg combines innovation and interdisciplinarity in research and education in the field of planar carbon lattices (PCL). It is one of eleven Research Training Groups nationwide that have currently been approved by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the next five years. The speaker is Thomas Heine, Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at TU Dresden, deputy speaker is Janina Maultzsch, Chair of Experimental Physics at FAU.
