Scaling in the quantum Hall regime of graphene Corbino devices

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard, Eva Carmen Peters

The scaling behavior of graphene devices in Corbino geometry was investigated through temperature dependent conductivity measurements under magnetic field. Evaluation of the Landau level width as a function of temperature yielded a relatively low temperatu ...

Optical gap in herringbone and pi-stacked crystals of [1]benzothieno[3,2-b]benzothiophene and its brominated derivative

Klaus Kern

The optical gap of the organic semiconductor [1]benzothieno[3,2-b]benzothiophene and its 2,7-dibrominated analogue is measured in solution and in the crystalline state by means of UV-vis and emission spectroscopy. Bromination leads to a change in molecular ...

A diamond-based scanning probe spin sensor operating at low temperature in ultra-high vacuum

Klaus Kern, Markus Ternes

We present the design and performance of an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) low temperature scanning probe microscope employing the nitrogen-vacancy color center in diamond as an ultrasensitive magnetic field sensor. Using this center as an atomic-size scanning pr ...

25th Anniversary Article: Label-Free Electrical Biodetection Using Carbon Nanostructures

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian

Nanostructures are promising candidates for use as active materials for the detection of chemical and biological species, mainly due to the high surface-to-volume ratio and the unique physical properties arising at the nanoscale. Among the various nanostru ...

Enhancing the Electrochemical and Electronic Performance of CVD-Grown Graphene by Minimizing Trace Metal Impurities

Klaus Kern, Kannan Balasubramanian

The presence of unwanted impurities in graphene is known to have a significant impact on its physical and chemical properties. Similar to carbon nanotubes, any trace metals present in graphene will affect the electrocatalytic properties of the material. He ...

Atomic-Scale Observation of Multiconformational Binding and Energy Level Alignment of Ruthenium-Based Photosensitizers on TiO2 Anatase

Klaus Kern, Feliciano Giustino, Sebastian Stepanow, Stephan Rauschenbach, Christopher Seiji Kley, Gordon Rinke, Christian Alexander Stephan Dette

Dye-sensitized solar cells constitute a promising approach to sustainable and low-cost solar energy conversion. Their overall efficiency crucially depends on the effective coupling of the photosensitizers to the photoelectrode and the details of the dye's ...

Dynamic Control of Plasmon Generation by an Individual Quantum System

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Uta Schlickum, Romain Froidevaux, Alexander Kabakchiev, Theresa Lutz, Christoph Grosse

Controlling light on the nanoscale in a similar way as electric currents has the potential to revolutionize the exchange and processing of information. Although light can be guided on this scale by coupling it to plasmons, that is, collective electron osci ...

Chemical Modification of Graphene via Hyperthermal Molecular Reaction

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Marko Burghard, Gordon Rinke, Sabine Abb

Chemical functionalization of graphene is achieved by hyperthermal reaction with azopyridine molecular ions. The one-step, room temperature process takes place in high vacuum (10(7) mbar) using an electrospray ion beam deposition (ES-IBD) setup. For ion su ...

TiO2 Anatase with a Bandgap in the Visible Region

Klaus Kern, Feliciano Giustino, Christopher Seiji Kley, Christian Alexander Stephan Dette

TiO2 anatase plays a central role in energy and environmental research. A major bottleneck toward developing artificial photosynthesis with TiO2 is that it only absorbs ultraviolet light, owing to its large bandgap of 3.2 eV. If one could reduce the bandga ...

Active Conformation Control of Unfolded Proteins by Hyperthermal Collision with a Metal Surface

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Gordon Rinke

The physical and chemical properties of macromolecules like proteins are strongly dependent on their conformation. The degrees of freedom of their chemical bonds generate a huge conformational space, of which, however, only a small fraction is accessible i ...

Tetradymites as Natural Hyperbolic Materials for the Near-Infrared to Visible

Klaus Kern, Moritz Esslinger, Pascal Gehring

Hyperbolic media exhibit unparalleld properties, e.g, as light absorbers in photovoltaics and photonics, as superlenses in far-field imaging, as subwavelength light concentrators in nanolithography, or as novel materials in emission engineering. With the a ...
