Jana Kalbacova, cfaed PhD student at the Semiconductor Physics Group (TU Chemnitz), was awarded with the cfaed INSPIRE Grant within the 2014 call. She spent two months in the group of Dr. Angela Hight Walker at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA.

The research was focused onto studies of defects in single-walled carbon nanotubes, towards understanding their role in technological applications. This issue is an important topic for the cfaed Carbon Path where it will help further developing high frequency field effect transistors for telecommunications, as well as support to the device modelling groups.
