Research opens up the possibility to map the charge flowing inside the molecular landscape

14-Jan-2022

An international research team led by Markus Gühr’s group at the University of Potsdam performed laser experiments at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY to monitor charge motions in light-excited molecules of thiouracil, which is a modified nucleobase. This class of molecules has a variety of ...

Hot Electrons – a very special form of heat transport in metals

01-Oct-2020

When heating a platinum layer on nanometer scales, heat can be transferred by hot electrons through a copper layer into a nickel layer without significantly heating the copper in between. This unusual form of heat transport was discovered by a research group around Jan-Etienne Pudell and Matias ...

A team of researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and the University of Potsdam has investigated heat transport in a model system comprising nanometre-thin metallic and magnetic layers. Similar systems are candidates for future high-efficiency data storage devices that can be locally ...

In perovskite solar cells, charge carriers are mainly lost through recombination occurring at interface defect sites. In contrast, recombination at defect sites within the perovskite layer does not limit the performance of the solar cells at present. Teams from the University of Potsdam and the ...
