Graphene

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure with fascinating physical properties. It can be exfoliated from graphite and exists in freestanding form as a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) crystal. Our research focuses on the vibrational and electronic properties of graphene and its derivatives, such as twisted bilayers of graphene, functionalized graphene, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and network structures, and graphene in combination with other layered materials.

RTG2861-PCL is a collaboration between Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), and is funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Our goal is to achieve atomic-precision synthesis and exploration of new planar carbon lattices (PCLs) for next-generation quantum materials, functional precision membranes, optoelectronic and electrochemical devices, by employing advanced experimental and theoretical methods in an interdisciplinary approach bridging synthetic chemistry, condensed-matter physics, and materials science. Our dual-site TUD & FAU collaboration will establish the standard in research-based education in the field of PCL by combining our expertise in synthesis, function exploration, and theoretical description, and by exploiting the complementarity in laboratory equipment available at our institutions.
