Group Devi

We welcome Chan-Mi Cho joining our IMC team as a new Master student. Chan-Mi will be working at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) in cooperation with the Department of Information and Electronics Materials led by Prof. Taek-Mo Chung.
We wish her a productive time!

We are very excited to announce a new international collaborative project NATOENER – Nanostructures with atomic Precision for next generation Energy Harvesting Devices.
The project is funded by i-Link+, a Grant coordinated by Dr. Mariona Coll at ICMAB in Barcelona, Spain.
NATOENER is looking into the development of multisource energy harvesters, devices that can convert energy from a variety of sources, like solar, kinetic, and temperature. The goal is to achieve the self-powering operation of electronic devices through multiferroic oxide materials.
Anna Borrás and Mariona Coll from CSIC will focus on the synthesis of 1D-3D multishell architectures and the team at Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany) David Zanders and Anjana Devi, will concentrate on the synthesis of tailored metalorganic precursors. The Queen Mary University of London (UK) team, led by Prof. Joe Briscoe, will perform multifunctional properties using vibration energy harvester testing, and the one at CEA-LETI (in Grenoble, France), led by Dr. Zineb Saghi, will use STEM for structural characterization of the materials.
We look forward to a successful collaboration on this exciting research topic and hope to pave the way for long-lasting research adventure.

We are excited to announce that David Zanders’ recent publication “Cobalt Metal ALD: Understanding the Mechanism and Role of Zinc Alkyl Precursors as Reductants for Low Resistivity Co Thin Films” is part of the ACS Editor’s Choice program and will be freely available for six month.
Congratulations to David and everyone who has contributed to this interesting work.

We welcome Marcel Schmickler joining our IMC team as a new Master student.
He will be working on synthesis and characterization of lanthanide precursors.
We wish him a productive research stay!
