Structure and Dynamics of Internal Interfaces
Collaborative Research Center (Sonderforschungsbereich) SFB 1083:
The Collaborative Research Center SFB 1083 of the DFG was established at Philipps-Universität Marburg in 2013. More than 80 chemists and physicists jointly investigate solid/solid interfaces of a variety of organic and inorganic materials in order to achieve a detailed microscopic understanding of the chemical bonding, the electronic coupling, and the dynamics of energy transfer for model systems of different classes of heterointerfaces.
Since 2017 the SFB includes groups from the Universities of Gießen and Münster and the Jülich Research Center.

34. Erfinderlabor: Scientific curiosity of the next Generation1. August 2023 - 14:34
Hessen’s young MINT scientists conduct research on hydrogen and renewable energies within the SFB 1083 and Philipps University Marburg The 34th Inventors’ Lab (Erfinderlabor) of the Center for Chemistry (Zentrum für Chemie, ZFC) has successfully entered its finale. This year’s event was once again organized by the ZFC in cooperation […]
Measuring spatially-resolved potential drops at semiconductor hetero-interfaces using 4D-STEM– Publication by A5 (Volz) in Small Methods28. May 2023 - 14:07
The team of project A5 of the SFB successfully measured the potential drop across a hetero interface using four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy Characterizing long-range electric fields and built-in potentials in functional materials at nano to micrometer scales is of supreme importance for optimizing devices. For example, the functionality of […]
Interface engineering of charge-transfer excitons in 2D lateral heterostructures – Publication by B9 (Malic) in Nature Communications9. May 2023 - 09:27
In a joined publication, the groups of Ermin Malic, Bernhard Urbaszek and Andrey Turchanin explained the behavior of quasiparticles in composite semiconductor nanosheets The presence of bound charge transfer (CT) excitons at the interface of monolayer lateral heterojunctions has been a topic of debate in the literature. However, unlike interlayer […]
Electrical control of hybrid exciton transport in a van-der-Waals heterostructure – Publication by B9 (Malic) in Nature Photonics20. April 2023 - 09:46
A research team including the experimental group of Andras Kis from the EPFL and the theoretical group of Ermin Malic demonstrated electrical control of the hybrid exciton transport in 2D material heterostructures. Interactions between out-of-plane dipoles in bosonic gases enable the long-range propagation of excitons. However, the lack of direct […]
When electrons dress up in light – Publication by B11 (Güdde/Höfer) in Nature12. April 2023 - 16:21
Suguru Ito, Jens Güdde and Ulrich Höfer, together with the group of Rupert Huber in Regensburg and physicists from across Europe, observed the ultrafast birth, rise, and collapse of a Floquet-Bloch band structure. New material properties, at lightning speed and on demand – this vision moves a step closer thanks […]
