PhD Position: nanotech@surfaces Laboratory – This position will focus on the on-surface synthesis and characterization of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) featuring exotic properties such as topological quantum states and spin-polarized edges. By means of scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, the successful candidate will characterize GNRs' electronic and magnetic properties. Special emphasis will be given to understanding device integration requirements, specifically aspects like GNR length, reactivity, and substrate interaction.
