News

April 2011
Dr. Rainer Friedlein is appointed Associate Professor at the School of Materials Science.

March 2011
Dr. Ying Wang receives a fellowship from the 'MARUBUN Research Promotion Foundation'. His work will focus on the relationship between molecular and crystal structure, electronic and transport properties of organic high-mobility materials for fiel-effect transistor applications.

November 2010
We are honoured to have received 'The Grant of the SHIBUYA Foundation'. Highly-ordered films of DNA bases shall be investigated as a new class of materials with excellent charge transport properties for organic field-effect transistor applications. In our vision, this may lead to the field of "Biological Electronics" where electronic properties may be programmed and self-replicated using the power of supramolecular chemistry and genetic engineering.

Epitaxial silicene on zirconium diboride surfaces

The superstar in the world of nanomaterials – graphene – may soon face a new rival in form of its big brother – silicene. As highlighted in the magazine "Science News" and on the main page of the American Physical Society, researchers from the laboratories of Assoc. Prof. Yukiko Yamada-Takamura and Assoc. Prof. Rainer Friedlein at the School of Materials Science and Assoc. Prof. Taisuke Ozaki at the Research Center for Integrated Science have now created and investigated such atom-thick honeycomb layers of silicon on metallic diboride thin films grown on silicon wafers. The next challenge is to prepare silicene on an only weakly interacting platform, a difficult task since silicon doesn’t naturally form the kind of atomic bonds needed to form flat sheets similar to graphene.

ASOMEA-VI

The 6^th Japan-Sweden Workshop
on
Advanced Spectroscopy of Organic Materials for Electronic Applications

The organizers cordially invite you to participate in ASOMEA-VI, a biannual meeting of Swedish and Japanese scientists convened to advance, through high-energy spectroscopic techniques and theoretical modeling, the understanding of organic electronic materials and related interfaces. Tightly focused presentations and lively discussion in an intimate atmosphere has been the tradition of the ASOMEA workshops, with frank exchange of new ideas and stimulating plenary lectures from renowned invited speakers. There is also a poster session open to all participants. The meeting is organized as a collaboration between the groups of active researchers in Japan and Sweden and is open to workers in related fields from both countries.
