Bolotin lab
The Bolotin Lab at Freie Universität Berlin explores quantum effects, optoelectronics, and nanomechanics in low-dimensional systems. We fabricate and pattern 2D materials—including graphene, 2D semiconductors, 2D magnetis, and strongly correlated materials —and engineer novel methods to assemble them into complex heterostructures.
Our research aims to discover new electronic phases and phase transitions, providing a pathway to tune the Hamiltonians of 2D systems. By leveraging experimental tools such as nanofabrication, low-temperature electrical transport, and optoelectronics, we work toward applications in nanoelectronics and quantum technology. Additionally, we specialize in developing "lab-on-a-chip" architectures that miniaturize complex experimental setups onto single nanofabricated devices.
Our group is part of large-scale centers focused on Heterostructures of Molecules and 2D materials, Ultrafast Spin Dynamics, Chiral Electronics, and 2D materials. The group runs the nanofabrication facility NANOFAB.
The group is funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), European Research Council, and German Ministry of Research Technology and Space.
