Season’s Greetings
The quantum- and nanoelectronics group wishes you the best for 2022!
5th Graphene (2D) workshop in Basel
Today, 1st Nov. the 5th Graphene (2D) workshop starts in Basel: 5th Graphene Workshop We welcome all the participants!
Group vote
Transiting back from Corona modus to more “normal” meetings, we decided to reshuffle our group online meetings. We will keep the Monday meeting as our regular weekly meeting with a topical talk. Research progress will be discussed on Tuesday alternating
Solarun Basel 2021
We participated in the Sola21 last Saurday the 23rd of Oct. It was a great event on a very sunny day, but freezing cold in the morning We ended up in rank 55, one rank before the team “Bundeshaus”: Here
Postdoctoral Position available
There is an opening for a postdoctoral fellow in the domain of circuit QED with hybrid-superconducting gatemon-type devices. See: description
Group Excursion, 13.+14. Sept. 2021
What a difference to corona lock-down: we went together for two days to the Engadin, to Pontersina. It was a wonderful event with two days of beautiful sunshine and activities. On the first day we went to the Diavolezza. This
Farewell Joost
Joost Ridderbos is leaving us. He will go back to the University of Twente and work in the group of Floris Zwanenburg where he did his PhD. However, we will continue to collaborate in various project including the FET-open project TOPSQUAD
Paper “Global strain-induced scalar potential in graphene devices”
Today, our paper on strained induced scalar potential in graphene appeared, see: publication. When graphene is uniaxially strained, the unit cell is elongated which leads to a chnage in the binding energy. This change has the same effect as an electrostatic
Superconducting Contacts to MoS2
Mehdi Ramezani’s paper entitled Superconducting Contacts to a Monolayer Semiconductor just appeared today (24th of June 2021) in Nano Letters. See: link-to-paper Schottky barriers in semiconductors usually prohibit achieving transparent enough contacts required to induce superconductivity in the semiconductor by the
TOPSQUAD Video
We have recorded a video for the dissemnination of the TOPSQUAD project. See here:
