The third funding period of our SFB 1170 “Topological and Correlated Electronics at Surfaces and Interfaces” (ToCoTronics) has been approved! Our research group is contributing by two projects to this collaborative research effort:
In project A02 we will investigate spin-resolved transport properties of topological materials. We will utilize the spin-polarized molecular nanoprobe (SP-MONA), a novel technique which allows for investigations at single-nm length scales and with single-impurity sensitivity.
Project C02 is aimed towards ultra-high resolution surface studies of topological superconductors. We will engineer and scrutinize the properties of (i) two-dimensional thin film hybrid systems, (ii) one-dimensional adatom chains, and (iii) lattices of impurities, all viable platforms which potentially host Majorana modes.
