Dirac Semimetals based Terahertz Components

Projektbeschreibung

Eine innovative Kombination aus Licht und Materie setzt beispielloses Potential frei

Terahertz-Photoniktechnologien nutzen den elektromagnetischen Frequenzbereich zwischen Mikrowellen- und Infrarotstrahlung – einen Frequenzbereich, der Stoff und Kunststoff durchdringt. Sie stoßen auf großes Interesse für Anwendungen in Bereichen wie zerstörungsfreie Prüfung, Biomedizin, Telekommunikation sowie Sicherheit und Verteidigung. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt DiSeTCom wird neuartige Terahertz-Photonikkomponenten entwickeln, die auf einer der aufregendsten neuen Klassen von 2D-Nanomaterialien – 2D-Dirac-Halbmetallen mit Graphen – basieren. Diese Materialien ziehen selbst die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich, weil sie faszinierende elektronische und optoelektronische Eigenschaften aufweisen und sich leicht in vorhandene Technologien integrieren lassen. Diese optimale Kombination verspricht beispiellose Leistung.

Ziel

Dear Madam/Sir,

I would like to inform you on behalf of my consortium of the amendment of the above-mentioned project, for the following reason(s):

Unfortunately, the massive disruption of the international travel due to COVID-19 and strict restrictions on the international travel imposed by the countries and organizations involved have essentially affected the implementation of the DiSeTCom project in terms of secondments. This had resulted in the suspending of the project for 249 days and reshuffling of the exchange schedule, which has become hardly bearable in terms of the manpower of the project partners.

In order to fulfill the project obligations in terms of the researchers exchange we propose to boost the project manpower by adding the following beneficiaries:

University of Exeter, UK (UNEXE), PIC 999864555 (academic organization),
MaxLLG Ltd, UK (MAXLLG), PIC 893920961 (SME)
NARRANDO SRL, IT (NARRANDO), PIC 917345685 (SME)

Involving two SMEs we allow us to enhance the exploitation potential of the DiSetCom, while an extensive expertise of UNEXE in the electromagnetic theory of 2D materials and heterostructures is to complement the INPBSU and ToV expertise.

The organizations above have well-established research collaboration with DiSetCom teams, they have been involved in RISE projects earlier and their research facilities are complementary with those currently available for the consortium and will allow them to effectively contribute to the implementation of the WP2, WP3 and WP5. The implementation of the amendment involves changes in the Annex 1 (Parts A and B) hereby updated accordingly.

By this letter we request an amendment for adding UNEXE, MAXLLG and NARRANDO to the consortium indicatively from 01.11.2021.

Modification of Annex 1 and Annex 2

Minor changes in the Gantt chart were introduced:

+2 PM to UEF (FI), - 4 PM for TERAVIL (LT), -1 PM for UNISA (IT),+ 1PM to FTMC (5LT), - 2 PM for UNITOV (IT), - 10 for Nuclear Problems of Belarussian State University.

As for the newcomers: 17 PM go to UNEXE (UK), 17 PM go to MaxLLG Ltd (UK) and 12 PM go to NARRANDO Srl (IT).

There is no change to the total EU contribution.


Yours faithfully
