ÖAW Young Academy

At its annual election meeting, the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) admitted 31 new researchers to its ranks. In addition to the 4 full members, the Academy elected 15 corresponding members and 12 members of the Young Academy among whom is Dr.Aleksandar Matkovic, member of the Chair of Physics.

ÖAW President Heinz Faßmann said: “I congratulate all new members of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. They are all among the best researchers in their disciplines. The class presidents Christiane Wendehorst and Wolfgang Baumjohann added: "Excellence and diversity in all their facets - specialist disciplines, age, geographical origin and gender - are essential for an academy. We are very much looking forward to the new members and the interdisciplinary dialogue with them."

Best Student Talk Award to Dipl.-Ing. Sebastian Stock

Sebastian Stock, PhD student at the Department of Physics, received the award for the best student talk at the symposium "Neutron Scattering Enabled Energy Materials Design" at the 50th MRS Spring Meeting and Exhibit in San Francisco. In the award-winning talk, Sebastian Stock presented his research results on "In Situ Small Angle Neutron Scattering Study of Hydrogen Physisorption in Nanoporous Carbons". His work demonstrates the potential of neutron scattering techniques in the study of hydrogen physisorption in nanoporous carbon materials. The in-situ measurements of hydrogen physisorption at the atomic level help to better understand the behavior of hydrogen in nanopores and improve the performance and efficiency of hydrogen storage.

Role of water for ion electrosorption at charged interfaces

Beamtime at the D22 instrument at the Institut Laue-Langevin ILL in Grenoble, France.

Malina Seyffertitz (main proposer) and Sebastian Stock conducted in-situ small angle neutron scattering experiments to explore the role of water for ion electrosorption at charged interfaces (March 2023)

Chair of Physics

The Chair of Physics has a long research tradition in the fields of nanostructured functional materials, surface science, and electrical transport in semiconductors. Examples of actual core research topics include nanoporous materials for energy storage, surface nanostructures and two-dimensional electronics . The key competences are in advanced experimental nanostructure characterization (X-ray and neutron scattering, scanning probe microscopy) and fabrication (nanoporous carbons, 2D heterostacks, and organic nanostructures). Members of the Institute regularly conduct experiments at international large-scale research facilities for synchrotron radiation or neutrons.
Teaching duties of the Chair include basic physics courses for all Bachelor study programs and advanced courses on materials for electronics and physics of functional materials for Bachelor and Master programs in Materials Science .
