Joint PhD Fellowship
We offer a joint PhD fellowship for a young, highly motivated student for reserach in twisted bilayers in the groups of Prof. Mitali Banerjee (EPFL-Lausanne) and Christian Schönenberger (University of Basel), Switzerland. –> More
Happy New Year

David successfully defendes his Phd on the 15th of October, Congratulations! His commitee consited of Dr. Sophie Guéron (Univ. Paris Sud, Orsay) and Prof. Dr. Stijit Goswami (TU-Delft). Thanks a lot to them for their careful reading of the manuscript!
Graphene Double-Decker SQUID
There are various ways to measure the magnetic field, for example, by the force exerted on a ferromagnetic needle, by the voltage measured at the two ends of a wire wound into a coil or through the Hall effect that
Group Excursion Summer 2020
we are just back from a great (but quite tough … at least for the boss) hike that started in a village called Curaglia closed to Disentis. We walked up to the Medelserhütte , which is a small but very nice
Frederick defended

1D-edge transport along edges in the Dirac semimetal WTe2
One-dimensional edge transport in few-layer WTe2 In 2016 the Nobel Prize in Physics was given to three theorists who introduced a new state of matter, topological matter. A subclass is defined by topological insulators (TIs), which are crystals that are
Large extendion of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov state
Physicists of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and the University of Basel discovered a surprising result on the extension of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states. Their joint studies appeared in Nature Communications. Recently several promising novel qubit concepts have been
Group Excursion Winter 2020
Last week Thursday and Friday we were exploring “one of the most famous ski resorts in Switzerland: We had a good start with a special bus only for us! Martin, well done! The plan was
