Graphene, a single sheet of sp2-bondeed carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, is the basic element common to graphite, carbon nano-tubes, and fullerenes. While the latter have been studied in detail, graphene has just recently moved into the focus. As a consequence of the unique bonding and structure, Graphene’s electrons show peculiar properties which not only reveal much new physics but which is also interesting for novel electronic devices. The project aims at an understanding of the electronic structure and many body interactions of ultra-thin graphite layers down to a single graphene sheet, which can be synthesized on the surface of the semiconductor silicon carbide. This goal will be accomplished by combining the competences of the partner groups.
