Kishan Thodkar won the Poster Award on the 12th Confocal Raman Symposium, which took place in Ulm, Germany, on 28-30 September 2015. The 3-day-conference was organized by the WITec, a marked leader in the field of nano-analytical microscope systems. Photo-release
In a study entitled Formation Mechanism of Metal–Molecule–Metal Junctions: Molecule-Assisted Migration on Metal Defects by Damien Thomson et al. appearing in J. Phys. Chem. C, we examine the formation mechanisms of metal-molecule-metal junctions by combining molecular exchange experiments and computer
Ralph Stoop receives, together with Boris Gross, a “Goldener Korrekturstift” award in recognition of excellent exercises teaching.
Our paper Competing Surface Reactions Limiting the Performance of Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistors has just been accepted to Sensors and Actuators B.
At the NCCR Molecular Systems Engineering retreat in April 2015, the scientific poster by Ralph Stoop was awarded with the prestigious “MSE Poster-Cup”.
Our paper ‘Interplay between Mechanical and Electronic Degrees of Freedom in π-Stacked Molecular Junctions: From Single Molecules to Mesoscopic Nanoparticle Networks’ has just been accepted to Journal of Physical Chemistry C.
The review ‘Ordered nanoparticle arrays interconnected by molecular linkers: electronic and optoelectronic properties’ has been accepted to Chemical Society Reviews. This review was written in collaboration with our former colleagues Jianhui Liao (Peking University, China) and Sense Jan van der Molen (Universiteit Leiden, Netherlands).
Kishan Thodkar won the second prize in yearly NanoImage contest from Swiss Nanoscience Institute with his work ‘Graphene Mosaic’. This is the optical image of the copper foil covered with CVD grown graphene after annealing.
