Novel multilayered materials present remarkable physical properties, with exciting prospects of applications in new technologies. This project proposes the isolation and characterization of carbon-based materials with different stacking and orientations, like ABC-stacked graphite, a less stable polytype of graphite that is thought to support magnetic and superconducting phases, and rotated bilayer graphene, which is superconductive at given angles. Anyone can join this project, the only requirement is enthusiasm to learn and explore new things. All other necessary skills will be obtained during the project. It is an excellent opportunity to get training in state-of-the-art methods, such as AFM, STM, Raman spectroscopy, ARPES, and mechanical exfoliation, available at the facilities of CEITEC NANO.
