Potential Landscape and Electronic Properties of Twisted and Curved 2D Materials (B04)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics ; Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 417590517

The project will develop and employ advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques with focus on electron holography (EH) and electron-energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) to facilitate the characterization of selected twisted and bent 2DMs hosting correlated electronic states. We specifically aim at revealing the structure and potential landscape in real space down to atomic resolution and observing low energy electronic excitations both in real and reciprocal space.
