Controlling Electronic Properties of Individual Synthetic Carbon Allotropes by Physical and Chemical Routes (B12*)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2016 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 182849149

Project B12 aims to control the electronic transport properties of mono- and bilayer graphene and (reduced) graphene-oxide on surfaces using local and global strain. The first of two work packages, WP-1, elucidates the electronic impact of covalent and non-covalent functionalization under strain by in-operandi (opto)electrical monitoring. Exploiting the unique valley-sensitivity of graphene(mono/bi) is subject of WP-2. Here local-strain induced topological and magnetic-field imposed electronic currents are combined which allows to generate novel transport features such as charge-carrier and electric-field dependent anisotropies.
