Large-Scale Research Projects Presenting their Work
Collaborative Research Centres (SFB), Clusters of Excellence (EXC), and Transregional Research Centres (TRR) are interdisciplinary research networks spanning multiple universities, in which scientists collaborate across disciplines.
Location: seminar room E2 (1.1.53) and ground floor between tracts 3 and 4
Die Sprecherin Prof. Dr. Katharina Franke erklärt die Forschungsziele des Exzellenzclusters "Center for Chiral Electronics"
What do hands, screws, and modern technologies have in common? Chirality!
An object is called chiral if it does not coincide with its own mirror image. Chiral materials conduct electric current differently depending on the direction of the electron spin.
We demonstrate where chirality occurs and present ideas about the possibilities chiral materials could offer for future electronics.
Location: ground floor between tracts 3 and 4
We are investigating the question of what determines the color of a material: is it the material itself or its size/shape?
Does gold always have its well-known yellowish color and characteristic metallic luster, or can its color change?
We also demonstrate that ultrathin monolayers of molecules can emit very bright light.
Location: Room 1.1.46
Spintronics refers to a new form of information processing based not on the charge but on the magnetic moment ("spin") of electrons.
The Collaborative Research Center/TRR 227 "Ultrafast Spin Dynamics" investigates the physical basis for this on the shortest time scales, as we will show you in demonstration experiments.
