On Monday, January 15, 2024, at 12:00 c.t., the next date of our Physics Colloquium will take place.
Prof. Dr. Clara Saraceno (RUB) and Prof. Dr. Axel Lorke (UDE) will speak in this special colloquium on the 2023 Nobel Prizes.
1,2,3... Attoseconds (Lecture Prof. Dr. Clara Saraceno)
The 2023 Nobel Prize was awarded to Anne L'Huillier, Ferenc Krausz and Pierre Agostini "for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter". This highlights again the critical importance of light-based tools to explore the world around us. In this talk, we will discuss some of the technical achievements that made possible the generation of the shortest pulses ever demonstrated and the enormous range of scientific problems they allowed to and will continue to allow to tackle.
Abstract of the lecture by Prof. Saraceno
Quantum dots - Even dwarfs started out small (lecture by Prof. Dr. Axel Lorke)
Quantum dots are the showpieces of nanotechnology. They impressively demonstrate that size matters when it comes to the properties of materials. This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Aleksey Yekimov "for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots". In this lecture, the physical background of the properties of quantum dots will be presented and the numerous applications that exist for quantum dots in current and future applications will be briefly discussed.
Abstract of the lecture by Prof. Lorke
The introduction will be made by Prof. Dr. Anna Böhmer.
The faculty cordially invites all interested parties. The event will take place in the lecture hall HZO 20. Before the colloquium we offer coffee and cookies.
