Investigating optical properties on the nanoscale

Our group focuses on the fundamental optical properties on the nanoscale of 2D materials and single-photon emitters to develop novel functionalities for quantum technology applications. We use near-field techniques to achive an optical resolution beyond the diffraction limit together with conventional techniques.

The group is funded by the NRW Rückkehrprogramm Quantentechnologie.

We welcome Mehrzad to our group as a master student. Mehrzad will do his thesis in cooperation with the Bracht group. He will prepare and optically investigate Hittorf phosphorus.
Hittorf phosphorus is a fascinating allotrope of phosphorus that was first discovered by Wilhelm Hittorf, a renowned German physicist who worked at the University of Münster in the late 19th century. Hittorf phosphorus is particularly interesting due to its unique optical properties and stability, which set it apart from other forms of phosphorus.

Niklas has very successfully finished his Bachelor thesis!
We got great new insights into TMDC heterostructures.
