Theory of Electronic Interface States in Weakly Bound Heterostructures (A13)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2017 to 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 223848855

At the interface between weakly bound low-dimensional materials the quantum-mechanical electronic structure forms characteristic states. Their spectra offer detailed insight into the microscopic structure of the interface, and the states form the basis for tailored functionalities in (opto-)electronic applications. The project aims at a theoretical description and quantitative evaluation of the interface states, in context with corresponding experiments within the CRC.
