Jan Anton Koster visited our group in Chemnitz @tucphys.bsky.social, and gave an excellent physics colloquium talk on „Charge transport phenomena in doped organic semiconductors: towards efficient thermoelectrics“. Was great to catch up with you, Jan Anton, and think of nice research ideas with you!

Are you interested in pursuing postdoctoral research on solution-processed semiconductors/optoelectronics via the Marie Skłodowska-Curie or Humboldt Research Fellowship frameworks?

Maria's paper "Transport resistance strikes back" is now published: https://doi.org/n687 – very nice, and a professional experience @ioppublishing.bsky.social! To celebrate, I wrote a short blog post on transport resistance, which limits the fill factor in organic solar cells https://wp.me/pbZgX-d0

No colloquium this Thursday, but a great event instead.
If you want to know what coold topics and techniques are used in which of our working group - drop by and chat with our professors and staff along some with some drinks and snacks. This is a great opportunity to identify thesis topics ;)

As Christmas is drawing closer, the physics department held one of its all-time favorite public events: the Christmas Lecture! 🎄

To the cheers of an exhilarated audience, Prof Schwarz and Dr Schletter pulled out all the stops and showed some of the best experiments in the collection - CU next year!
