Transparent conductive electrodes are of relevance for industrial applications such as solar cells, LEDs and touchscreens. These electrodes, however, are expensive and brittle by nature. The promising alternative are silver nanowire networks. Researchers from Eindhoven developed better ways to produce and characterize them.

Francesco, who is a joint PhD student with the group of prof. Jaime Gómez Rivas at TU/e, will study how to modify chemical reactions by strongly coupling molecular excitations to resonances in plasmonic cavities. Mike will develop a colloidal method to make 2D nanoparticle arrays for cheap and flexible photonic device applications.
