When thin becomes thinner – Germanene nanoribbons pave the way for quantum computing

If you start with a two-dimensional ribbon and make it narrower and narrower, when does it stop being a ribbon and start being a one-dimensional line? Scientists from Utrecht University and the University of Twente made one-atom-thick ultrathin nanoribbons consisting of germanium atoms. They have shown that this system exhibits amazing properties that can be useful, for example, in quantum computing. Their work was recently published in Nature Communications.

QuMat yearly meeting in Twente

The yearly meeting is over and we are looking forward to the pillar meeting in Eindhoven. The preliminary date is 19-20 May. Slides Slides from the presentations at the yearly meeting are coming in. Below you can find links to the ones that we have put on the website (just click on the images).

QuMat summer school

Thanks to everyone who make the QuMat summer school such a wonderful event. We have all learned a lot about the topics of each other and also about each others as persons.

New study highlights potential of 2D materials in advanced light-based technologies

In a new study published in Physical Review B, researchers led by professor Zeila Zanolli and PhD candidate Riccardo Reho from Utrecht University, explored the impact of stacking, twisting, and interlayer distance on the electronic and optical properties of structures made of specific two-dimensional quantum materials. The study revealed that these factors could significantly alter …
