We released a preprint on “Magnetism of topological boundary states induced by boron substitution in graphene nanoribbons” to Arxiv. The article shows the promising perspective of incorporating spin polarization in the conjugated electron system of graphene nanoribbons. Using automatically precise engineering topological defects it is shown that magnetism can also be induced away from physical […]
Read MoreWe are welcoming our latest SPRING project team member, Jeremy Gérard Hieulle as Post-doctoral Researcher. He joins us coming from the Okinawan Institute of Science and Technology – OIST in Japan. Adding his expertise in emerging magnetism from topologically projected bound states in graphene nanostructures to our research group CIC09 Nanoimaging will support our scientific […]

Graphene and related materials have emerged as an ideal solution to combine spin localization and diffusion. These atomically thin materials can be fabricated with atomic precision, opening the door to fabrication of designer structures with precise shape, composition, spin arrangement, and interconnected by graphene electrodes for electrostatic or quantum gates. In the framework of the EU-funded […]
Read MorePedro Brandimarte started his research for SPRING at the DIPC node. Pedro is an expert in employing computational tools for simulating electronic structure and transport through nanoscale systems. In SPRing, Pedro will be involved in simulation of band structure and topology of graphene nanoribbons.
