CRC 1415
The popularity of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) has increased significantly over the past few decades, as they have a high potential for application in various fields such as electronics, catalysis, information technology, and medicine. 2DMs are low-dimensional nanomaterials with high structural definition at the atomic/molecular level and nanoscale thickness in one dimension. They are characterized by their unique properties, such as high charge carrier mobility, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength.
The Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1415 "Chemistry of Synthetic Two-Dimensional Materials" focuses on the controlled synthesis and development of new 2DMs with high structural precision. This includes the development of synthesis methods for 2DMs and 2D van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, the exploration of characterization techniques, and the further development of theoretical descriptions. The CRC 1415 is divided into three research areas: A) Material Synthesis, B) Characterization, and C) Theory. The goal is to understand and adapt the functional properties of 2DMs and 2D heterostructures. This includes the development of chemical reaction approaches, controlled chemical functionalization, and the generation of multifunctional hybrids and superstructures. Additionally, in-situ and ex-situ characterization methods are being developed to analyze the reaction mechanisms, structures, and properties of 2DMs. By combining experimental and theoretical approaches, a deeper understanding of 2DMs and their properties is to be achieved.
The INF project has the overarching goal of developing and hosting a research data management (RDM) infrastructure to promote reproducibility, data sharing, and collaboration within the CRC 1415. Additionally, the project aims to provide training for researchers to convey the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reuse) and to homogenize various heterogeneous RDM solutions. The INF project offers integral services for all projects of the CRC 1415 in all aspects of RDM and the data life cycle. To achieve this, the project has defined four sub-goals: the installation and maintenance of a scalable server infrastructure based on NOMAD Oasis, the development of up-links to public research data repositories (OPARA, RODARE, ZENODO), the development of down-links to electronic laboratory notebooks (eLabFTW), and the provision of training for doctoral students and project leaders on infrastructure and guidelines. By implementing these goals, an efficient and sustainable research data management infrastructure is to be created that meets the needs of research and fulfills the FAIR principles.
