"The Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition in V2O3 revisited"
Ass. Prof. Dr. Alessandro Toschi, Technical University Wien

The isostructural metal-insulator transition in Cr-doped V2O3[1] represents one of the most known textbook examples of a Mott-Hubbard transition between a paramagnetic metal and a paramagnetic insulator driven by electronic correlations. In this talk, after introducing the key-co ... more

New hard magnetic materials and applications: A micromagnetic study
Prof. Dr. Josef Fidler, TU Wien - Institute of Solid State Physics - Advanced Magnetism (Micromagnetics & Magnetic Materials)

The search for new candidates of suitable magnetic materials, structures and their expected behaviour as the reduction or the replacement for rare earth elements in permanent magnets is of great economical and scientific interest. On the basis of density functional theory calcula ... more

Element selective investigations of structure, valence and magnetism in doped oxides
Andreas Ney, Institute of Semiconductors and Solid State Physics, Johannes Kepler University Linz

X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) using linear and circular polarized light offers a powerful toolbox of element-specific probe of local structural properties, valence and magnetism. We have used XANES and in particular x-ray linear dichroism (XLD) and x-ray magneti ... more

Porous and High Surface Area Nanoarchitectures: Synthesis and Application in Lithium Ion Batteries
Nicola Hüsing, Materials Chemistry, Paris-Lodron University Salzburg

Advances in designing nanostructured or nanoporous materials with well-defined composition, e.g. silica, non-silicate oxides, phosphates or hybrid materials, with particle sizes in the range of 2-50 nm play a vital role in manifold fields, e.g. heterogeneous catalysis or energy s ... more

Transiting planets orbiting hot, relatively massive stars
Dr. Eike Guenther , Thüringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg, Deutschland

Prior to the discovery of planets outside the solar system it had been generally assumed that such planets would be similar to the planets of our solar system. However, the last 20 years have shown that extrasolar planets have a much larger diversity than the planets of our solar ... more

Topological Superconductivity: A New Quantum State of Matter
Prof. Dr. Werner Hanke, Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Physik 1, Julius-Maximilians-Univeristät Würzburg

The search for topological states of matter has generated an enormous activity in condensed‐matter physics, both experimentally and theoretically. In quantum systems, atoms and their electrons can form many different states of matter, such as crystalline solids, magnets, ... more

Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of Charge Recombination in Organic Photovoltaics
Chris Groves, School of Engineering and Computing Sciences, Durham University, UK
http://community.dur.ac.uk/chris.groves/

Although Organic Photovoltaic devices (OPVs) suffer from a variety of properties that might be expected to impact device performance, including high recombination rate and small dielectric constants, real devices nonetheless show charge generation efficiencies approaching 100%. ... more
