The mechanism behind the stability of organic nanoparticles prepared by liquid anti-solvent precipitation (LAS) without specific stabilizing agent is poorly understood. Therefore, we mimicked the solid-liquid interface of a hydrophobic organic nanoparticle with an OTS coated silicon wafer and studie... Continue

Für die Verstärkung der AG Nanomaterialcharakterisierung (Streumethoden) des Lehrstuhls für Kristallographie und Strukturphysik (LKS) der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) suchen wir eine/einen Doktorandin/en (TVL 3/4 E13) zur Untersuchung aktiver Schichten organischer Solarzel... Continue

For the first time, both X-ray and neutron beams meet at the same sample volume enabling unprecedented investigations of nanomaterials using small angle scattering (SAS) techniques.  A portable small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) instrument with a proper geometrical dimension was successfully design... Continue

Real-time GIWAXS/GISAXS studies reveal details of the formation and post processing processes of active layers of bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells. In three recent publications deep insights into thin film structure formation is presented and the impact of GIWAXS and GISAXS methodologies for ... Continue

As part of the lecture series "Moderne Physik am Samstagmorgen (Erlangen)" Prof. Reinhard Neder gave a lecture on January 25, 2020, entitled "Nanopartikel - Zwerge mit spannenden Eigenschaften". In his lecture Prof. Neder presented the latest research results in the field of nanophysics - this in... Continue
