Molecules cannot "decide" which partner they want to bind to. Therefore it is an enticing problem to understand how chemical reactions become selective, in our case stereoselective. By carefully analyzing STM data and combining them with extensive DFT calculations we unraveled the reason why partic...

The second Edition of the textbook "Oberflächenphysik" (surface science) by Prof. Thomas Fauster, Dr. Lutz Hammer, Prof. Klaus Heinz, and Prof. M. Alexander Schneider is available from today on. The textbook gives a compact overview about surface science and its experimental methods. For now, the bo...

The structural analysis of TaS2 is published as editors' suggestion in PRB today. This record-breaking LEED-I(V) analysis includes 128 inequivalent beams of diffracted electrons to determine the positions of 78 atoms in the two outmost trilayers. Fun fact: PRB announced it next to the Nobel Prize...

The consortium of the SPP 2196 "Perovskite Semiconductors: From fundamental properties to devices" is finalized. We are proud that Daniel Niesner's project "Long-lived hot carriers, coherent spin transport, and the role of surfaces in lead halide perovskites" is listed as associated project of this ...

Registration is open for the 5th Erlangen Symposium on Synthetic Carbon Allotropes of the SFB 953 "Synthetic Carbon Allotropes". Do not miss Janek Rieger's poster on organic thin films for singlet fission! Program: https://www.sfb953.research.fau.eu/talks-symposia/sca-symposium-2019/program/
