SciPix Award 2022: Clip on μ-CT Life of a paper sample won SciPix 2022 award in the catagory video clip.
Viktoria Haberl und Maximilian Fuchs show how the microstructure of a paper sheet is measured with Xray microcomputed tomography - seen entirely from the perspective of the sample. This work is a cooperation between the Christian Doppler laboratory for mass transport through paper and the Graz μ-CT Consortium.
Scope

The group of Karin Zojer, centered at the Institute of Solid State Physics, aims at establishing structure to transport-property relationships in disordered solids. The group engages in modeling and simulation of charge transport in organic electronic devices and, recently, mass transport through paper sheets. Starting out from "numerical experiments" , relying on our own, home-made, method implementations (Drift diffusion solver, KMC simulations), we analyze and extract structure-to-property relationships to identify limitations or realistic tuning handles.

Our research interests specifically include
  • hopping transport in disordered organic semiconductors
  • charge injection into disordered organic semiconductors
  • organic thin-film transistors
  • organic light emitting diodes
  • pore structure and pore network descriptors of paper
  • transport through paper
which we study (mostly) with these techniques:
  • Drift-diffusion-based device simulations (home-made code)
  • Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations (home-made code)
  • Image segmentation methods
  • Reaction-diffusion transport simulations using PINNs (home-made code)
  • Transport simulations via Pore Network Modelling
