Tailoring photoactive materials: light on the dark side of the force

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Absorption of light brings molecules into an activated state. From this state radiative processes can occur, but much more interesting are the nonradiative, dark processes in which the photon energy is transformed into other forms such as mechanical and chemical energy.

Simulating and optimising turbulence in stellarators

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Stellarators, the twisted siblings of the axisymmetric fusion experiments called tokamaks, have historically suffered from confining the heat of the plasma insufficiently compared with tokamaks and were therefore considered to be less promising candidates for a fusion reactor.

The future of solar fuels: when could they become competitive?

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Solar energy driven processes with H2O and CO2 as basic feedstocks can produce ‘‘solar fuels’’ that could substitute their fossil based counterparts. This presentation summarizes the main findings of techno-economic research on systems that can generate different types of fuels with renewable energy as starting point.

Chemistry and Optoelectronic Properties of Colloidal Semiconductor Nanocrystals

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are versatile nanomaterials, whose properties are determined by their size, shape (quantum dots and nanorods, nanosheets, nanowires), composition, and compositional profile (i.e., single component, gradient or homogeneous alloy, doped, heterostructured).
