Sebastian Buchberger

Sebastian Buchberger is a Research Fellow at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews. He is actively engaged in cutting-edge research in condensed matter physics and quantum materials, with a particular focus on two-dimensional materials and their electronic properties. His work involves sophisticated experimental techniques including angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.

His primary research interests include:

• Density Material Science (100%)
• Monolayers Material Science (69%)
• Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (61%)
• Surface Science (61%)
• Epitaxy (61%)
• Spin-Orbit Coupling (61%)
• Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (58%)
• Two-Dimensional Materials (53%)

Buchberger's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the electronic structure of novel quantum materials, particularly transition metal dichalcogenides and ruthenates. His work often explores how spin-orbit coupling influences electronic properties, with implications for future quantum technologies. He frequently collaborates with researchers across multiple institutions on projects related to 2D materials and quantum phenomena.

Buchberger is involved in several significant research projects:

• "Controlling and integrating 2D magnetism" (2023-2026)
• "Engineered Quantum States" (2017-2022)
• "Designer Oxides" (2015-2017)

He completed his PhD thesis (title redacted) under the supervision of Professor Phil King and Dr. Zhang, with data production spanning from September 2021 to April 2025. His research has been supported by major funding bodies including EPSRC and The Leverhulme Trust.
