On the occassion of Paulo's Habilitation Talk, we have taken a group photo with our new group members Dr. Gusthavo Brizolla and Dr. Lukas Cvitkovich (right) and our Master student Sareh Bazyar (left). |
Dr. Paulo E. Faria Junior, Research Associate in our group, has completed his Habilitation process giving an exciting talk in front of the faculty members. Congratulations, Paulo! |
With Prof. Dr. Jaroslav Fabian, Dr. Andreas Costa, Thomas Naimer, and Dr. Klaus Zollner, our team has shown a comprehensive presence at Graphene Week 2024 in Prague advertising our research on proximity and twisting effects in graphene/van-der-Waals heterostructures and the supercurrent diode effect in two-dimensional systems. |
Dr. Lukas Cvitkovich joins our group as a PostDoc. Lukas will be working on first-principles descriptions of magnetic tunnel junctions and large-scale systems. Welcome, Lukas! |
The latest issue of Europhysics News features a highlighted article authored by Prof. Dr. Jaroslav Fabian and Dr. Klaus Zollner to illustrate the unprecedented tunability of spin interactions in van-der-Waals heterostructures through, e.g., stacking and twisting individual layers. These properties make van-der-Waals heterostructures promising candidates for spintronics devices and next-generation information technologies. The full article is available here. |
Dr. Gusthavo Brizolla joins our group as a PostDoc. Gusthavo will be working on modeling spin-orbit torques in two-dimensional magnets from first-principles calculations. Welcome, Gusthavo! |
The award for the best poster presented at the International Conference on Internal Interfaces 2024 (IC II-24) in Marburg has been awarded to Dr. Klaus Zollner for his contribution on "Proximity-induced spin interactions in twisted van-der-Waals heterostructures". Congratulations, Klaus! |
Our recent work demonstrating an efficient electrical control of various correlated phases in a single van-der-Waals/Bernal-bilayer-graphene heterostructure has been published in Physical Review B . |
Our first-principles studies proposing radial Rashba spin-orbit fields in twisted van-der-Waals heterostructures have been published in Physical Review B and highlighted as Editors' Suggestion. |
Together with the experimental group of Prof. Dr. Christoph Strunk/Dr. Nicola Paradiso at UR, we unraveled a direct connection between the supercurrent diode and anomalous Josephson effects in InAs-based Josephson junctions. Our latest results have been published in Nature Communications. |
In an international collaboration, we are exploring the ramifications of proximity-induced spin-orbit and exchange coupling on the appearance of correlated phases in rhombohedral trilayer graphene. Our latest results have been published in Physical Review Letters. |
In collaboration with colleagues from Kosice, we are exploring the tunability of the proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling in twisted graphene/NbSe2 heterostructures. Our latest results have been published in Physical Review B. |
From first-principles calculations, we are proposing Rashba spin-orbit fields with radial symmetry that emerge in twisted van-der-Waals heterostructures. Our latest results have been published in the preprint arXiv:2402.12353. |
Together with colleagues from Slovakia and Poland, we are demonstrating a giant asymmetry of the proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling in twisted graphene/SnTe heterostructures. Our latest results have been published in the preprint arXiv:2402.09045. |
