As we're getting excited about the upcoming Da Vinci Competition next month, it's time to share another finalist interview. Today it's 2023 Finalist, Niklas Hidman. Nikas is from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and his paper was "Dynamics of bubbles across scales." "I am honored to have been selected as one of the top five finalists since the prize is probably the most prestigious award in Europe for young researchers in fluid mechanics. I also saw the competition as a great opportunity for presenting my thesis to an international jury and discussing the findings with experts from other universities."

Good Opportunity

🌟 Starting 2025 with exciting news! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce the publication of a new paper by our talented postdoc Florian Castioni and collaborators in Nano Letters: "Nanosecond Nanothermometry in an Electron Microscope." https://lnkd.in/ePfAAG2y This groundbreaking study introduces a novel pump–probe photon–electron method within a STEM, enabling the mapping of temperature dynamics with nanometer and nanosecond resolution. By leveraging laser-induced heating and time-resolved monochromated EELS, this work explores transient thermal phenomena in nanoscale materials like silicon nitride, aluminum thin films, and transition metal dichalcogenides. Congratulations to the authors: Florian Castioni, Yves Auad, Jean-Denis Blazit, Xiaoyan LI, Odile Stéphan , Mathieu Kociak, and Luiz H.G.

Happy to share, I had an opportunity to present my research at American Physical Society's Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (DAMOP) 2024 meeting. The presentation title - 'Electronic excited-state dynamics of cytosine and its derivatives studied by time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy'.

🔬 Join Us for an Engaging Scientific Talk! 🌟 We are excited to invite you to the upcoming SFB Colloquium featuring Prof. Dr. Tobias Stauber from the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid. 🗓️ Date: Tuesday, 02.07.2024 ⏰ Time: 14:15 🏢 Location: H34 Prof. Stauber will be presenting on the compelling topic of "Nematic versus Triplet Superconductivity in Twisted Bilayer Graphene." Be part of an enlightening session where we explore the phase diagrams of realistic moiré systems, starting from a microscopic tight-binding model for twisted bilayer graphene within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The talk will cover the emergent U(4)-ferromagnet, the symmetry-breaking in real samples, and how this affects the asymmetry between the superconducting phases for electron and hole doping. Additionally, the discussion will extend to the theory of Ising superconductivity in twisted trilayer graphene and how real-space chirality can be measured in linear transport experiments. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in cutting-edge research in condensed matter physics and materials science. #CondensedMatterPhysics #TwistedBilayerGraphene #NematicSuperconductivity #TripletSuperconductivity #MoiréSystems #MaterialsScience #ScientificResearch #PhysicsTalk #Colloquium #SFB1277 See you there! 🚀

Nanothermometry, which measures temperature dynamics at the nanoscale, is an invaluable tool in fields such as #nanotechnology, #materialsscience, and #semiconductor #research. However, mapping these dynamics with nanometer and nanosecond resolution has proven challenging, often requiring scientists to make compromises. In their new paper, the STEM group @ LPS Orsay uses the #Attolight #Mönch to demonstrate a novel photon-pump electron-probe method in STEM for #nanothermometry. The #Mönch has played a pivotal role in pioneering this new technique by enabling precise local heating via injection of tightly-focused, pulsed laser light in the #transmissionelectronmicroscope. Such light injection with the #Mönch allows accurate measurements of time-dependent and localized temperature changes using the electron microscope in #EELS mode. Congratulations to the authors for this fantastic work! We look forward to seeing what other new techniques the Mönch unlocks in future research.

Continuing with our highlights of 2024, we present to you a collaboration with Luis Chacón from Los Alamos National Laboratory: our seminal publication on Implicit PIC algorithms 👨💻 The work introduces a new Implicit Particle in Cell algorithm in a paraxial Magnetic Nozzle geometry and generalizes a novel particle mover in mapped meshes with strict conservation of total energy and local charge. The algorithm showcases a remarkable performance gain compared to conventional algorithms, with comparable or superior accuracy. 🤩 We are excited about this international collaboration with the US, consolidated during the research stay of Pedro Jiménez, PhD in Los Alamos for his PhD. Now a postdoc in our lab, he keeps refining and advancing this research line! 📌An implicit, conservative electrostatic particle-in-cell algorithm for paraxial magnetic nozzles 🖋️P. Jiménez, L.

Congratulations to Paulo de Faria Junior on his successful Habilitation Colloquium! 🎉 Yesterday, Paulo, a member of our group and of Collaborative Research Centre SFB 1277 University of Regensburg delivered a brilliant presentation highlighting his groundbreaking research on excitons in 2D materials. His work has significantly advanced our understanding of these fascinating composite particles and has had a profound impact on the field. Paulo's innovative computational methodologies have unraveled the intricate mechanisms governing the behavior of excitons in magnetic fields. His research has been instrumental in deciphering the puzzling experimental observations in this rapidly evolving area. Excitons, bound electron-hole pairs, are particularly prominent in 2D materials due to their exceptionally high binding energies. Paulo has been at the forefront of investigating the influence of various external stimuli, such as magnetic and electric fields, strain, and twisting, on excitonic states. His combination of first principles calculations and phenomenological modeling has provided valuable insights into these complex systems. We're thrilled to celebrate Paulo's achievement and look forward to his continued contributions to the scientific community. #Habilitation #Excitons #2DMaterials #ComputationalPhysics #Research #Science
