Description

International Winterschool
on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials

Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the Kirchberg Winterschool – International Winterschool on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials (IWEPNM). The first conference in our series took place in February 1985 with polymers as its central theme. Since then, the topics discussed in Kirchberg have continuously evolved – polymers, high-Tc superconductors, fullerenes, nanotubes, organic materials, 2D materials, and many more, but the Kirchberg feeling has remained the same - lively, open minded, and highly spirited.

We want to celebrate this exciting anniversary with you. As always, expect a great scientific program plus an evening of celebration including all former and the present main organizers of Kirchberg.

The 37th International Winterschool on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials (IWEPNM) will take place from March 8 until March 14, 2025 in Kirchberg/Tirol, Austria. Our mission is to give a broad overview over the physics and chemistry of carbon nanostructures, two-dimensional materials and topological systems through a series of invited talks and contributed poster presentations.
The registration and abstract submission deadline is November 22, 2024. Information about registration and abstract submission will follow with the 1st and 2nd announcements.

The Kirchberg Winterschool is organized by the groups of

Janina Maultzsch (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, DE) and
Stephanie Reich (Freie Universität Berlin, DE)

in cooperation with

Andreas Hirsch (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, DE) and
Christoph Stampfer (RWTH Aachen, DE)

 

Scope

The scope of the winterschool covers experimental and theoretical work in the following fields:

  • materials science of graphene, nanographene, and carbon nanotubes
  • novel two-dimensional materials
  • optics, electronics, growth, and selection of carbon nanotubes and graphene
  • theory of novel materials
  • applications of novel materials
  • nanostructure spintronics
  • topological materials
  • plasmonic nanostructures
  • single-molecule experiments

      Anharmonicity and confinement effects in carbyne-like materials

      Carbyne, an infinite linear chain of carbon atoms, is the truly 1D allotrope of carbon that has remained elusive to date. While carbyne like materials like long linear carbon chains encapsulated in carbon nanotubes or short carbon atomic wires are available for study, the transition between the two systems and common properties that can be linked to carbyne are poorly understand. In this talk, I will present our Raman spectroscopy study of the C-mode of individual confined carbyne chains up to the third overtone. We find a strong vibrational anharmonicity that increases with decreasing C-mode frequency. Upon comparison to carbon atomic wires, we find that this relation
      between vibrational anharmonicity and C-mode frequency is universal to carbyne-like materials. Finally, I will show that the collective LO-phonon mode of carbon atomic wires confined inside carbon nanotube approaches the frequency of confined carbyne’s C-mode, suggesting that convergence to length-independent properties of long linear carbon chain inside carbon nanotubes occurs at shorter chain lengths than previously thought.

      TEST Janina 14.2.2025

      das sieht sehr gut aus!
      $\lambda$ oder andere latex-Zeichen

      $\frac{1}{2}$

      habe als Test Andreas Hirsch als Co-Author gesucht, weil ich wusste, dass er sich schon angemeldet hat. Funktioniert gut. Frage nach Datenschutz? Dadurch kann ich natürlich austesten, wer sich alles angemeldet hat? Oder ist das ein indico-feature?
