Project description
The RTG is a joint Research Training Group of TU Dresden and FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg. Seven Chairs from each of the two universities are jointly researching planar carbon compounds (PCL). These structurally diverse materials combine an ordered 1D or 2D lattice structure based on carbon, without the use of rare and toxic elements. The resulting special properties of PCLs make them particularly interesting for use in future quantum materials and in optoelectronic or electrochemical components. The core research areas of the interdisciplinary RTG combine novel synthesis of PCLs with atomic precision (Area A), the investigation of PCL-specific properties and functions (Area B) and the development of special experimental and theoretical characterization methods (Area C).
An important part of the RTG is the structured training of early-career researchers with a comprehensive qualification program in the fields of chemistry, physics and materials science. In addition, the open science concept and numerous diversity measures are at the forefront, including a target of 50% women and a multinational composition of the RTG.
