Nanostructures based on carbon are promising materials for nanoelectronics. However, to be suitable, they would often need to be formed on non-metallic surfaces, which has been a challenge – up to now. Researchers at FAU have found a method of forming nanographenes on metal oxide surfaces. Their res... Continue

The scholarship programme "Promotion of Equal Opportunities for Women in Research and Teaching (FFL)" is offered by the Free State of Bavaria in order to support women in science with above-average achievements in all areas of study.

Graphene is a promising material for use in nanoelectronics. Its electronic properties depend greatly, however, on how the edges of the carbon layer are formed. Zigzag patterns are particularly interesting in this respect, but until now it has been virtually impossible to create edges with a pattern... Continue
