Controlling surface energy dissipation via tailored interface properties (A04)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Solids and Surfaces, Material Characterisation ; Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2013
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 217133147

The project undertakes a vigorous effort to study the energy conversion processes during atomic and molecular collisions with the surfaces of solids and how they exchange their translational, rotational and vibrational energy with solid-state degrees of freedom. Surface energy dissipation will be controlled by varying the solid-state degrees of freedom in two main model systems: (i) Graphene and other 2D systems modified by changing of the underlying substrate, doping or twisting and (ii) oxide heterostructures.
