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.

Unveiling the Effects of Hydroxyl-Induced Trap States on the Charge Transport in p- and n-Channel Organic Field-Effect Transistors through Variable-Temperature Characterization – Publication by A212. June 2025 - 09:57
In a new publication in Advanced Materials, project A2 (Witte) reports on the variable-temperature transfer length method (TLM) investigation of p– and n-channel organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The use of the developed full high vacuum (HV) process chain allows to exclude the effect of ambient exposure and reveals the effects […]
Detection of an interface-specific coherent phonon mode – Publication by B5 (Höfer/Mette), A1 (Stolz) and A5 (Volz) in Advanced Materials Interfaces9. February 2025 - 11:29
Gerson Mette, former project B5, and co-workers succeeded in exciting and detecting an interface-specific coherent phonon signal at the buried GaP/Si(001) heterointerface An important goal of the collaborative research centre SFB 1083 “Structure and Dynamics of Internal Interfaces” has been the advancement of the spectroscopy of buried interfaces. In this […]
Ultrafast switching of trions in 2D materials by terahertz photons – Publication by B9 (Malic) in Nature Photonics23. September 2024 - 09:32
In a joint study including the experimental group of Alexey Chernikov (TU Dresden), Manfred Helm and Stephan Winnerl (Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf) as well as the theoretical group of Ermin Malic (Philipps-Universität Marburg),the ultrafast switching of trions in 2D materials were investigated by terahertz photons. External control of optical excitations is […]
The International Conference on Internal Interfaces, ICII-24, was held in Marburg19. September 2024 - 14:14
SFB 1083 organized the third International Conference on Internal Interfaces (ICII-24) in Marburg with many national and international speakers. The meeting brought together more than 100 scientists from across the world in the new library building of the Philipps-Universität Marburg. From those, over 25 national and international speakers were invited […]
