Structurization and Functionalization of Epitaxial graphene on SiC

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Ulrich Starke
• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2010 to 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 172946980

Epitaxial graphene layers on SiC will be functionalized and their electronic structure tailered. The carbon layers will be decoupled by intercalation of metallic and non-metallic elements and thus modified in a dedicated fashion. Highly doped graphene layers, super lattice potentials and metal contacts are the goals of the project. In addition we prepare graphene nanostructures by growing graphene on pre-patterned SiC substrates or by cutting trenches in graphene layers by catalytic etching.
