The 38th International Winterschool on Electronic Properties of Novel Materials (IWEPNM) will take place from February 28 until March 06, 2026 in Kirchberg/Tirol, Austria. Our mission is to give a broad overview over the physics and chemistry of carbon nanostructures, two-dimensional materials and topological systems through a series of invited talks and contributed poster presentations.
Information about registration and abstract submission will follow with the 1st and 2nd announcements.

The Kirchberg Winterschool is organized by the groups of

Janina Maultzsch (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, DE) and
Stephanie Reich (Freie Universität Berlin, DE)

in cooperation with

Andreas Hirsch (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, DE) and
Christoph Stampfer (RWTH Aachen, DE)

 

Scope

The scope of the winterschool covers experimental and theoretical work in the following fields:

  • materials science of graphene, nanographene, and carbon nanotubes
  • novel two-dimensional materials
  • optics, electronics, growth, and selection of carbon nanotubes and graphene
  • theory of novel materials
  • applications of novel materials
  • nanostructure spintronics
  • topological materials
  • plasmonic nanostructures
  • single-molecule experiments
