ALPMOH Project Research Stay
To initialize the second year of the atomic layer processing of metal organic hybrid materials (ALPMOH) project that is running in cooperation with the Aalto university in Finland, we welcomed Topias Jusila to our laboratories. He spent two exciting weeks with us to experience the synthesis of new iron precursors that will be used to develop new ALD processes and achieve selective growth of iron oxide crystal phases. To utilize the enticing magnetic properties of epsilon iron oxide, the synthesis of this very phase is required which we target to achieve via ALD. After two short weeks with our Finnish visitor, we reciprocate with two of the IMC PhD students Jorit and Florian spending time at Aalto University in late summer to carry out their research tasks.
