Solar cells typically base on a comparatively brittle, half-millimeter thick slice of silicon as the semiconductor. Exploiting alternative materials can provide flexibility as to the appearance of the cells such…
Host-guest recognition is an essential part of supramolecular chemistry which is concerned with the interactions and optimal design of host molecules for specific guest molecules. Here, we modelled a perylene…
Welcome to the newest FAU NMP member Prof. Dr. Simon Thiele Prof. Dr.-Ing. Simon Thiele studied physics at the University of Freiburg. In 2009 he started a PhD on the…
Welcome to the newest FAU NMP member Prof. Dr. Luca Ghiringhelli Since October 2023, Luca M. Ghiringhelli is professor for “Data-based Materials Modelling” at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He holds an M.Sc.…
He optimizes imaging and analysis methods in electron microscopy in order to find out more about the structure of materials at the atomic scale: FAU NMP member and EAM Professor…
September brought some changes within FAU NMP: We welcome Bastian Etzold (Chemical and Biological Engineering, Faculty of Engineering) and Jörg Libuda (Chemistry and Pharmacy, Faculty of Sciences) as two new…
Most of the colors we encounter in daily life are produced by pigments, i.e., produce by the absorption of specific wavelengths of light. However, there are other forms of coloration,…
Acoustic levitation makes it possible to immobilize small objects without physical contact. Instead, a standing sound wave is used to counteract gravity. Researchers at FAU applied acoustic levitation to perform…
Welcome to the newses FAU NMP member Prof. Dr. Danijela Gregurec After her MSc degree in applied chemistry at the University of Zagreb (Croatia), Danijela started her PhD in 2011…
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) triggered large interest in condensed matter research since these twodimensional materials exhibit electronic states ascribed to ‘topological invariants’ of the particular crystal structure and facinating properties when…
