Optical coating (OC) applications represent a multibillion dollar market worldwide; they range from antireflective (AR) coatings found in most optical components and low emissivity windows in buildings and automobiles to narrowband optical interference filters used in telecommunications. As the range of applications of OCs continuously broadens and extremely attractive market opportunities...
Crystalline films of small conjugated molecules offer attractive potential for fabricating organic solar cells, organic light emitting diodes (LEDs), and organic field effect transistors (OFETs) on flexible substrates. Here, the novel two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials like conducting graphene (Gr), insulating ultrathin hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) or semiconducting transition metal...
Recently, remarkable progress has been achieved in modern microscopies. However, even if they have attained exceptional lateral resolution, the problem of providing powerful spectroscopic characterization at the nano- and mesoscopic-scale still remains. This gap is particularly filled by an innovative and powerful technique named k-space nanoscope or NanoARPES (Nano Angle Resolved...
In this talk, I will overview how atomistic computer simulations carried out over the last about 30 years, have enabled a much improved understandings of how ions accelerated in a vacuum interact with materials. Molecular dynamics simulations have enabled a good understanding of heat spikes, in which damage production mechanisms are fundamentally different from those predicted by traditional...
Materials science today provides us with a vision of the processes involved in the creation of a work of art, from the choice of materials to the visual perception of the finished work.
The precious character of the paintings of the old Masters and their uniqueness imply particular cautions and require instruments, which may give the maximum of information directly on the surface of the...
