VISIBLY PHOTOLUMINESCENT SILICON NANOSTRUCTURES AND THEIR USES Silicon dominates electronics but has played a minor role in optoelectronics to date. Bulk crystalline silicon is an indirect bandgap semiconductor with restricted light emission capabilities. However it is now established that many nanoscale forms of silicon (eg. nanoparticles, ... more |

Ab initio description of strongly-correlated materials: On the road to predictive power Strongly-correlated materials show a variety of fascinating
properties, such as metal-insulator transitions, unconventional
superconductivity, or strongly enhanced magnetism. A common feature of
these fascinating materials is that potential and kinetic energy are
of similar s ... more |

Probing ultrafast electron dynamics in momentum, space, and time Optically excited (hot) electrons play a crucial role for many fundamental chemical and physical phenomena occurring at surfaces, interfaces, and in bulk materials. They, for instance, determine the properties of photo-induced catalysis at surfaces, and the efficiency of charge a ... more |
