Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 182087777
The central goal of our project is to establish surface plasmon polariton (SPP) directional propagation by a chiral hybrid inorganic/organic system (HIOS). For this a plasmonic antenna-wire system is assembled on a HIOS consisting of a two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide and matched conjugated organic molecules. In this model system we will study chirality and circular dichroism on a molecular scale in fundamental HIOS. Furthermore, we will explore concepts for ultra-compact chirality sensors.
