Modeling silicon and germanium spin qubits
Silicon/Germanium spin qubits have attracted increasing attention and have made outstanding progress in the past two years. In these devices, the elementary information is stored as a coherent superposition of the spin states of an electron in a Si/SiGe heterostructure, or of a hole in a Ge/SiGe heterostructure. These spins can be manipulated electrically owing […] >>

Catalytic properties at the nanoscale probed by time-resolved Bragg coherent diffraction imaging
The postdoctoral research project is part of a five-year ERC-funded project called CARINE (Coherent diffrAction foR a Look Inside NanostructurEs towards atomic resolution: catalysis and interfaces – https://carine-erc.eu) to develop and apply new coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) capabilities. The main objective of the project is to image nanostructures in situ during reaction and to reveal […] >>

Growth of High Quality 2D Hexagonal Boron Nitride on a Liquid Metal Catalyst
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are crystals of one or a few atoms in thickness with high stability and physical properties governed by extreme quantum confinement. Due to its unique crystal structure, graphene exhibits a plethora of unconventional electronic phenomena. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) shares the same crystal lattice but has different properties. For example, it is […] >>
