AMOLF researchers Erik Garnett, Susan Rigter, and colleagues are the first to have irrefutably demonstrated that amorphous perovskite exists. The material can significantly increase the efficiency of solar cells produced …
AMOLF-onderzoekers Erik Garnett, Susan Rigter en collega's zijn de eersten die onomstotelijk aantonen dat amorf perovskiet bestaat. Het materiaal kan zonnecellen van perovskiet veel efficiënter maken. Het onderzoek verschijnt op …
At the 2020 Virtual MRS Fall Meeting, PhD student Susan Rigter has won two awards with her poster Amorphous Halide Perovskite Thin Films. First, the Materials Research Society announced that …
Susan Rigter heeft de Tata Steel Afstudeerprijs voor Werktuigbouwkunde en Materiaalkunde 2019 gewonnen voor haar scriptie Amorphous Organic-Inorganic Perovskites. De prijs werd uitgereikt tijdens een feestelijke bijeenkomst op 25 november …
The Dutch Research Council (NWO) awarded Veni grants to AMOLF postdocs Eline Hutter (Hybrid Solar Cells group) and Sven Askes (Nanoscale Solar Cells group). Semiconductor of the future Eline Hutter …
A team of researchers from AMOLF, Western University (Canada), and the University of Texas (USA) recently demonstrated the use of algorithmic design to create a new type of nanophotonic structure.
Nanoscale solar cells benefit from transistor technique
An international team of scientists has investigated a new type of charge carrier-selective contact for nanowire solar cells based on the surface-gate effect. Those contacts make use of an effect …
Researchers combine spintronics and nanophotonics in 2D material
Spintronics in materials of just a few atoms thick is an emerging field in which the ‘spin’ of electrons is used to process data, rather than the charge. Unfortunately, the …
Three AMOLF projects in NWO program Materials for Sustainability
AMOLF participates in three new research projects that will start with funding through NWO’s program Materials for Sustainability (Mat4Sus). To enable a smooth transition from fossil fuels to a more …
Former AMOLF PhD student Sander Mann has received an NWO Rubicon award to do research at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center in New York. Mann obtained the cum laude …
