P&O-E group news

In a nice interview (with video showing our labs!) Jan Anton Koster explains the work Jian Liu and his team did on using buckyballs in thermoelectrics. For the article and the video go here.

Prof. Maria Antonietta Loi has been elected as Fellow of the American Physical Society for her ‘seminal contributions to understanding and manipulating charge transfer and excitonic states in optoelectronic devices’. She is among the 163 (worldwide) new Fellows of...

Bart’s latest paper is out – congratulations! In his recent report, Photochromism in Ruddlesden–Popper copper-based perovskites: a light-induced change of coordination number at the surface, published in Journal of Materials Chemistry C, Bart studied the origin of a...

The MRS Graduate Student Awards are intended to honor and encourage graduate students whose academic achievements and current materials research display a high order of excellence and distinction.  MRS seeks to recognize students of exceptional ability who show...

We have a new paper out! In our latest contribution to the interesting field of tin-based halide perovskites, we collaborated with researchers from Rennes and Zurich to study the temperature dependent characteristics of formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI3) single...

Science writer Rene Fransen made a nice piece of popular science about our latest publication in Nature Commnuications. You can find the article for example here.

By now it has been eight weeks during which we have been working from home. This time is obviously very difficult for everyone. We are thus very happy about some good news: our work on broad luminescence bands in two-dimensional halide perovskites was just published...

Christoph Brabec, who is a visiting professor in our group, will be at the University of Groningen this week and will teach three master classes for students and employees. 1: 4 March: 11.00-13.00: Room 5118.0161 Transparent electrodes 2: 4 March: 15.00-17.00:...

From 1st March the P&OE group has a new group member. Dr. Lorenzo Di Mario joins our team as a postdoctoral researcher focusing on optical spectroscopy of organic semiconductors. Welcome, Lorenzo, and we look forward to working with you.

Our former group member Artem, who is now the proud CEO and founder of QDI Systems has won the Groningen Engineering Center (GEC) thesis prize for his PhD thesis. Congratulations, Artem!
