Ligand-mediated formation of Cu/metal oxide hybrid nanocrystals with tunable number of interfaces

Raffaella Buonsanti, Seyedehbehnaz Varandili, Dragos-Constantin Stoian, Jan Vávra, James Richard Pankhurst

Combining domains of different chemical nature within the same hybrid material through the formation of heterojunctions provides the opportunity to exploit the properties of each individual component within the same nano-object; furthermore, new synergisti ...

Nanoscale mechanism of UO2 formation through uranium reduction by magnetite

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Zezhen Pan

Uranium (U) is a ubiquitous element in the Earth's crust at similar to 2 ppm. In anoxic environments, soluble hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) is reduced and immobilized. The underlying reduction mechanism is unknown but likely of critical importance to explain ...

Single channel Josephson effect in a high transmission atomic contact

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Jacob Senkpiel

The Josephson effect in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is an excellent tool to probe the properties of a superconductor on a local scale. We use atomic manipulation in a low temperature STM to create mesoscopic single channel contacts and study the Jo ...

Time-resolved open-circuit conductive atomic force microscopy for direct electromechanical characterisation

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Wonjong Kim, Jelena Vukajlovic Plestina

Studying nanomaterial piezoelectricity and triboelectricity is attractive for energy and sensing applications. However, quantitative characterisation of electromechanical effects in nanomaterials is challenging due to practical limitations and possible com ...

Suppressing recombination in perovskite solar cells via surface engineering of TiO2 ETL

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Pankaj Kumar Yadav, Daniel Prochowicz, Mohammad Mahdi Tavakoli, Manoj Kumar

Hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained significant attention owing to their excellent physicochemical and photovoltaic properties. PSCs typically consist of a perovskite light absorber sandwiched between two carrier selective layers optimized wit ...

Low-loss SiN waveguides for efficient and broadly tunable nonlinear frequency conversion

Tobias Kippenberg, Camille Sophie Brès, Junqiu Liu, Florent Gilles Mazeas

We report on the use of low-loss Si3N4 waveguides for efficient frequency conversion tunable from the near infrared to the short-wave infrared. We achieve -15 dB conversion efficiency for 200 mW coupled pump power. ...

Phenanthrene-Fused-Quinoxaline as a Key Building Block for Highly Efficient and Stable Sensitizers in Copper-Electrolyte-Based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Etienne Christophe Socie, Weiwei Zhang, Brian Irving Carlsen, Yinghui Wu, Yameng Ren, Huiyun Jiang

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on Cu-II/I bipyridyl or phenanthroline complexes as redox shuttles have achieved very high open-circuit voltages (V-OC, more than 1 V). However, their short-circuit photocurrent density (J(SC)) has remained modest. ...

Growth of nanowire arrays from micron-feature templates

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Dmitry Mikulik, William Craig Carter, Martin George Friedl, Wonjong Kim, Lea Ghisalberti, Pablo Romero Gómez, Gaëtan Bernard, Christian André Jürgensen

Here, we present a two-step annealing procedure to imprint nanofeatures on SiO2 starting from metallic microfeatures. The first annealing transforms the microfeatures into gold nanoparticles and the second imprints these nanoparticles into the SiO2 layer w ...

Mechanisms shifting the emission energy of self-assembled quantum dots in nanowires

Luca Francaviglia

This thesis is dedicated to the engineering of the emission energy of quantum dots embedded in core-shell GaAs-AlGaAs nanowires. The goal is to redshift the quantum-dot emission energy in resonance with a gas of Rb atoms. Segregation processes on the nanow ...
