Welcome to our research group!

In the Multifunctional 2D Materials subgroup at the SNQS chair of WSI (Prof. Dr. J. J. Finley), we focus on the growth of ultrapure van der Waals materials and explore their structure, symmetry, and quantum opto-electronic properties. This broad class consists of layered combination of 2D materials and opens up entirely new directions in materials and nano-science. In particular, our research aims at identifying routes to ultrapure growth and material assemblies that facilitate multifunctional design. Hereby, we combine van der Waals materials having dissimilar properties to build hybrid multi-component metamaterials with highly emergent functionalities. To conduct this research, we employ an ultrahigh-purity cluster consisting of a molecular beam epitaxy chamber for synthesis connected to an analytical chamber housing optical and electronic spectroscopy capabilities.
