Plasma-tailored sustainable nanohybrids for ultra-broadband terahertz absorbers (PANDORA)

We investigate sustainable nanomaterials using ultra-broadband terahertz (THz) spectroscopy to understand their fundamental properties and enable new functionalities for next-generation THz technologies.

Key data

Description

This project focuses on the investigation of sustainable nanomaterials in the ultra-broadband terahertz (THz) frequency range. Using advanced THz spectroscopy, we study charge carrier dynamics, lattice vibrations, and structural properties in a contactless and non-destructive way

The materials are based on biomass-derived carbon nanostructures, whose properties are tailored using plasma-assisted processes and combined with conductive materials. The insights gained will support the development of new THz functional devices, such as filters, shielding components, and modulators.
