On May 9, Wun-Chang Pan successfully defended his PhD thesis on "Structural and electronic characterization of molecules and their STM-based manipulation".   He deposited 3,9-diboraperylene diborinic acid (or CM219 in short) molecules synthesized in Prof. Frank Würthner's group at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy onto single-crystalline metal surfaces and studied their oder and electronic properties by STM and STS, respectively.  He found that the molecules form a kagome lattice which surprisingly possesses a chiral character.  Pan Wun-Chang’s continues as a postdoctoral fellow at Bochum University with Prof. Karina Morgenstern. We would like to congratulate Dr. Pan and wish him all the best for his future life and career!

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.
