On Monday (05.12.22) at 12.00 pm c.t. the next meeting of our Physics Colloquium will take place.
The speaker will be Prof. Dr. Silvana Botti (Uni Jena) on the topic: "Computational Design of Energy Materials".
Perovskites have attracted increasing attention as energy materials thanks to their diverse composition and extraordinary variety of electronic properties. Perovskite solar cells are the most rapidly advancing photovoltaic technology today, but large-scale application is hampered by open issuest hat are still delaying their market entry. How can the development of functional materials, as perovskite materials, and related technology be accelerated using supercomputers?In this colloquium, I will discuss how /ab initio/ calculations and machine learning can be combined to discover new energy materials and optimize existing ones. However, characterising the electronic properties of bulk crystalline materials may be insufficient to assess their suitability for technological applications, as interfaces are, after all, at the heart of electronic devices. I will conclude therefore presenting some recent progresses in the computational design of functional interfaces.
Abstract lecture Prof. Dr. Catherine Pépin
The introduction will be given by Prof. Dr. Ilya Eremin.
The faculty cordially invites all interested parties. The event will take place in lecture hall HNC 10 and hybrid via Zoom. Before the colloquium we offer coffee and cookies.
