Zweidimensionale Materialien

What it is about

You will learn properties, fabrication, characterization and applications of two-dimensional (2D) materials. At the end you will be able to classify different 2D material classes, select suitable preparation and analysis techniques, and interpret central physical properties (e.g. phonons, excitons, Raman and photoluminescence signatures).

What you will be able to do

• Distinction and classification of 2D materials
• Evaluation of preparation and nanofabrication methods
• Description and selection of optical and structural characterization methods
• Interpretation of Raman spectra of selected 2D materials
• Assignment of magnetotransport phenomena (e.g. quantum Hall) in graphene and topological insulators
• Assessment of absorption, excitonic and spin properties in transition metal dichalcogenides
• Mention and description of application examples in electronics, optoelectronics, spintronics and photovoltaics
• Analysis and evaluation of current publications on 2D materials
• Assessment of social responsibility and prospects for quantum science and technology
