Biosketch

Antonija Grubišić-Čabo did her PhD in the group of Prof. Philip Hofmann, Aarhus University (Denmark). After completing her PhD, she went on to do postdoctoral research at Monash University (Australia) and later the KTH royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), the latter stay having been enabled by a KTH postdoctoral grant. In 2022, Antonija joined the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials as a tenure track assistant professor and a PI of the “Advanced spectroscopic and structural analysis methods” group. In her capacity as an assistant professor, Antonija is working on establishing an ARPES and time-resolved ARPES capability at Zernike which would enable local researchers to study the electronic structures of a wide range of materials without having to travel to synchrotron facilities. Her own research is primarily focussed on 2D materials, the unique properties they display due to their reduced dimensionality, and ways of modifying their structure through the surroundings and light-matter interaction. Antonija has received multiple awards during her career (including best presentation awards, postdoctoral scholarship grants, and research grants), and she was selected for future science leadership programs in 2019 (Future Women Leaders, Monash University) and 2022 (one of 25 European representatives for European Crucible 2022).

In this paper, we show for the first time how one can exfoliate 2D materials in ultra-high vacuum using simple and general method called “Kinetic in situ single-layer synthesis” (KISS), which yields large flakes of excellent crystallinity and interface quality. As the entire KISS procedure happens in ultra-high vacuum, it is ideally suited for research into the electronic properties of materials by surface sensitive techniques and to study air-sensitive materials.

For certain devices, such as transparent electrodes, highly n-doped graphene is desirable, but unfortunately, n-doped systems are exceedingly reactive and unstable in air. We found that by using magnesium to intercalate graphene one can achieve extremely high level of n-doping with internal displacement field on par with the largest fields obtained in externally driven devices, and still have air-stable graphene systems.

A. & Hofmann, P., ”Spin and Valley Control of Free Carriers in Single-Layer WS2”, Physical Review B 95 (4) 041405(R) (2017)

 

2D WS2 is predicted to be ideally suited for novel kinds of electronics called spin- and valley-tronics, where each “bit” takes values determined by the spin and valley properties of the free carriers. It was shown for the first time that it is possible to selectively interact with only one kind of valley and spin states simply by changing the helicity of the perturbing light, and thus exciting only free carriers of a specific character and obtaining spin and valley control.
