Picture of the month: Two-line atomic fluorescence imaging for temperature measurements in an indium-based FSP process
01. June 2017 – Flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) is widely applied for the production of complex and functional nanoparticles. Since the temperature distribution during nanoparticle formation in a FSP flame is one of the most important parameters influencing particle size, morphology and crystallinity, detailed... more »

Picture of the month: Fivehold twinned microstructure determines the properties of nanowires in transparent electrodes
01. April 2017 – Fivefold twinned silver nanowires play an important role in EAM Research Area B where they are used in flexible and stretchable electronics, e.g., as transparent electrodes in printed solar cells. Atomistic simulations performed in Research Area A3 showed that their unique structure leads to a... more »

Picture of the month: Scrutinizing individual porphyrin molecules at room-temperature with scanning tunneling microscopy
01. March 2017 – One of the main goals within the EAM is the controlled fabrication of functional structures and materials from molecules. To do so we follow a bottom-up approach, in which we rely on the adsorption behavior of functional molecules, namely porphyrins, on various substrates. In the present study,... more »
