Measuring Particle Motion Where It Shouldn’t Exist
Our research group recently investigated how fast quantum particles move within a step potential from which they are reflected. The outcome of these experiments helps to improve our understanding of tunnelling phenomena and challenges the Bohmian interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Residue-free wafer-scale direct imprinting of two-dimensional materials
We report a metal stamp imprinting method for patterning 2D films into high quality wafer-scale arrays without introducing chemical or polymer residues. The local contact mode allows some of the 2D material to be selectively exfoliated while leaving 2D arrays on the growth substrate.
