Korea-Tübingen PhD Program: Project 11/2024:
PhD Project Title: Surfaces and interfaces of transition metal dichalcogenides

Topic Description: The recently increasing research efforts devoted to layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) derives from their fascinating electronic and magnetic properties. Nowadays they are promising alternatives to conventional semiconductor materials enabling novel future applications. Although interfaces play a crucial role for applications in devices, the nature of interactions is often poorly understood. Further, electronic properties of TDMCs can be tuned by the adsorption of molecules. The investigation the interaction mechanism of mechanism between organic or inorganic materials will be the focus of this project. For the characterization of the electronic structure of TMDC surfaces and interfaces mainly photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) in the home-lab and at synchrotron radiation sources will be applied. The geometrical structure of adsorbates will be studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in ultrahigh vacuum.
