Planar Carbon Lattices

Associated to Heine Group: https://tu-dresden.de/mn/chemie/pc/pc1
Dr. Hongde Yu leads the Magnetic Carbon subgroup at the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry, TU Dresden. The research focuses on understanding and designing metal-free magnetic materials based on π-conjugated carbon frameworks. Using electronic-structure theory and materials modelling, the group studies spin polarization, electron correlation, and magnetic coupling in organic radicals and two-dimensional polymers. A particular emphasis is placed on topology-driven magnetism in carbon-based lattices and covalent organic frameworks, aiming to establish theoretical principles for metal-free quantum materials for future spintronic and quantum technologies.
