Topology in Two-Dimensions: towards a quantum spin Hall transistor

Topology in Two-Dimensions: towards a quantum spin Hall transistor The aim of this project is to synthesize novel topological materials that exhibit the QSH effect up to room temperature and to realize topological phase transitions. The project

Unraveling surface enabled phenomena: new physics at the interface

Unraveling surface enabled phenomena: new physics at the interface Due to the restriction in the dimension perpendicular to the surface, the quantum nature of matter plays an important role in surface processes. We utilize low-energy electron microscopy

Electron scattering in graphene

Electron scattering in graphene Quasiparticle interference is a beautifull example of the particle wave duality, as the electron scatters as a particle but interferes with itself as a wave

Twisted 2D Materials

Twisted 2D Materials If two lattices, that are slightly twisted with respect to each other, are placed on-top of each other a new superstructure is found

2D Dirac materials

2D Dirac materials The rise of graphene has triggered many scientists to search for other two-dimensional ‘Dirac’ materials. The most attractive candidates can be found in
