Nano- and single-crystals of lead halide perovskites: from bright light emission to hard radiation detection
Prof. Dr. Maksym Kovalenko, ETH Zürich, Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, CH-8093, Zurich, Switzerland; Empa-Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology,

Chemically synthesized inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) are considered to be promising building blocks for a broad spectrum of applications including electronic, thermoelectric, and photovoltaic devices. We have synthesized monodisperse colloidal nanocubes (4-15 nm edge lengths) of f ... more

Prospects and Results of Aberration-Corrected Low-Voltage Electron Microscopy – the SALVE Project
Prof. Dr. Harald Rose, University of Ulm, Wolf-Prize in Physics 2011

The ultimate goal of high-resolution analytical electron microscopy is the acquisition of detailed information about the structure, the chemical composition, and the local electronic states of the object on an atomic scale. Radiation damage resulting from atom displacement and ... more

Optoelectronics with atomically thin materials
Thomas Mueller, Institute of Photonics, Vienna University of Technology

Two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals are currently receiving a lot of attention for applications in (opto-)electronics. In this talk I will review our research activities on photovoltaic energy conversion, photon detection and light emission in these materials. In particular, I w ... more

Engineering Metal-Organic Frameworks for device fabrication
Prof. Dr. Paolo Falcaro, CSIRO and Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Graz University of Technology

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of ultra-porous materials with exceptionally high accessible surface area due to the framework produced by the inorganic nodes coordinated by organic bridging ligands.[1,2] A number of increasing studies are investigating Metal-Organic ... more

Designing Metastable Phases for High Performance Applications
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Eckert, Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science, Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and Department Materials Physics, Montanuniversität Leoben

Metallic materials are important in a variety of high performance applications. However, a drawback of nearly all current high strength alloys is that they lack ductility or, on the opposite side, they may be highly ductile but lack strength. Hence, it is mandatory to develop new ... more

Conductance Anomalies in Transport through Quantum Dots and Quantum Point contacts
Prof. Jan von Delft, LMU München

Quantum dots and quantum point contacts, two elementary building blocks of semiconducting nanodevices, both exhibit famously anomalous conductance features: the Kondo effect in the former case, and the 0.7 anomaly in the latter. The microscopic origin of the Kondo effect is well ... more

Electronic and Structural Dynamics in Solids: A Momentum-Resolved View on Microscopic Coupling and Correlation Phenomena
Dr. Ralph Ernstorfer, Department of Physical Chemistry - Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society - Berlin

The coupling and mutual dependence of electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom is at the heart of microscopic as well as macroscopic phenomena in condensed matter. Ultrafast pump-probe techniques provide experimental access to these coupling and correlation effects by reveal ... more
