Janina Maultzsch is a German physicist who is the Chair of Experimental Physics at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
[citation needed] She remained in Berlin for doctoral research, investigating the vibrational properties of carbon allotropes including nanotubes and graphite.
[citation needed] She returned to Technische Universität Berlin in late 2004, where she worked as a researcher in the Institute of Solid State Physics.
[6] She made use of resonant Raman spectroscopy to uncover the optical transition energies and radial mode frequencies of various metallic and semiconducting nanotubes.
She showed that the optical transition energies and electronic structures depend on the chirality index of the nanotube.
