a unique research group in the heart of Europe

We work with atomically flat surfaces and interfaces

TMDC-metal interfaces

Strong interaction between TMDCs and metals is fascinating from the fundamental perspective and underpins successful applications relying on semiconductor-metal contacts.

Electrolyte gating of 2D materials

Electrostatic gating by ionic electrolytes is the most efficient way to induce extreme charge carrier densities to study the exotic phenomena inaccesible by the less efficient dielectric gating.

Spectroelectrochemistry of graphene

In-situ Raman spectroelectrochemistry using a microdroplet electrochemical cell allows for simultaneous monitoring of the electronic band structure and chemical reactivity of materials.

Exotic layered materials

Layered semiconducting antiferromagnet CrSBr combines robust stability in air with a strongly anisotropic crystal structure, which gives rise to a polarization-dependent optoelectronic response.
