DFG to establish a new Priority Programme on 2D Materials
The German Research Foundation (DFG) is establishing 14 new Priority Programmes (SPP) for the year 2020. This was decided by the DFG Senate in Bonn. One of the 14 new programs, selected from 50 submitted initiatives, was set up with the contribution of Prof. Christoph Stampfer (a member of the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center) and focuses on 2D materials. The new programon is entitled "2D Materials - Physics of van der Waals Heterostructures (2DMP)" and it is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Thomas Heine (TU Dresden).

New book: “Electrons in Solids”
Hendrik Bluhm, Thomas Brückel, Markus Morgenstern, Gero Plessen, Christoph Stampfer (2019).
Electrons in Solids: Mesoscopics, Photonics, Quantum Computing, Correlations, Topology (pp. I–IV). Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter.
https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110438321
As a continuation of classical condensed matter physics texts, this graduate
textbook on “Electrons in Solids” introduces advanced topics of correlated electron systems, mesoscopic
transport, low-dimensional electron systems, unconventional superconductivity
and topological insulators. These aspects are complemented by theoretical
aspects of quantum information theory as well as solid state implementations. The book
covers modern many body theory and effects arising from correlated electron
systems and closes a gap between basic condensed matter textbooks and the forefront of
research.

Poster prize for Benedikt Frohn at the "Graphene Study 2019"
Benedikt Frohn won the 1st poster prize at the "Graphene Study 2018" in Obergurgl (Austria) with his poster on "Gate-defined electron-hole double dots in bilayer graphene". Congratulations! The 3rd poster prize went to Rebekka Garreis from the Ensslin group (ETH Zurich) with a very nice poster on charge detection in bilayer graphene quantum dots. Allowing one to conclude that soft-confinement in bilayer graphene is indeed highly promising.
