Habilitation

Congratulations to Priv. Doz. Dr. Aleksandar Matkovic for succesfully defending his habilitation thesis in Material Physics!

New PhD graduate at the Chair of Physics

On August 31 2023, Taha Honaramooz completed his journey as a PhD student at the SynErgy_Mat Lab within the Chair of Physics by successfully defending his thesis "Dispersoids Formation and Distribution in AA7050 Aluminum Ingot”. Taha's PhD project was supervised by Prof. Oskar Paris (Chair of Physics) and mentored by Prof. Stefan Pogatscher (Chair of Nonferrous Metallurgy) in collaboration with industrial partners.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Taha on his outstanding achievement and wish him every success for the future and his new role as a Project Manager for Aluminium at Constantia Flexible.

Graphene Week '23

Graphene Week 2023, hosted by the Graphene Flagship, took place in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 04 - 08 September, 2023. The mission of the Graphene Flagship is to unite both academic and industrial researchers with the goal of transitioning graphene from academic laboratories into society. This endeavor aims to foster economic expansion, create fresh employment opportunities, and open up novel prospects. In addition, the 2D-Experimental Pilot Line project is working within the Graphene Flagship, to establish an ecosystem for integrated 2D materials in the semiconductor industry. The ultimate goal is to harness these materials for applications as CMOS readout integrated sensors, Hall sensors, photodetctors and GFETs based bio/chemical sensors.

2nd Symposium on Hydrogen and Carbon

The 2^nd Symposium on Hydrogen and Carbon (H₂-C), organized by Robert Obernaus-Emler (Resources Innovation Center) and the Rectorate of the Montanuniversität Leoben within the frame of the Strategic Core Research Area (SCoReA+) Hydrogen & Carbon, took place on July 10^th – 11^th at CCD of Voestalpine Donawitz in Leoben. Sebastain Stock delivered a talk, while Max Rauscher and Malina Seyffertitz presented their findings through posters to an audience of approximately 100 participants from Montanuniversität Leoben as well as industrial partners such as Voestalpine, RAG and OMV.

The ‘’ Focused Ion Technology for Nanomaterials -"FIT4NANO’’ workshop occurred in Lisbon, Portugal between July 17th and 19th 2023 with primary objective of establishing a platform to enable new applications of Focused Ion Beam (FIB) techniques in structuring functional materials at nanoscale. MSc Zubair Khan presented a talk on the topic of "Engineering magnetism in two-dimensional phyllosilicates via ion implantation".2D_Mat_Lab

Gordon Research Conference on Chemistry and Physics of Liquids in Holderness, New Hampshire (USA)

From July 29^th to August 4^th, Malina Seyffertitz took part in the Gordon Research Seminar and Conference (https://www.grc.org/chemistry-and-physics-of-liquids-conference/2023/) held in Holderness, New Hampshire (USA). During this event, she shared her latest research findings on "Investigating Aqueous Electrolytes in Nanoconfinement at Charged Interfaces Using In-Situ Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS)" through a poster presentation. The conference served as a valuable forum for scientific discourse and the interchange of ideas, fostering opportunities for potential future collaborations.

Nova Rock Festival

Max Rauscher, Sebastian Stock, and Malina Seyffertitz from the Chair of Physics recently participated in the "Montanuniversität Wissens-Line-Up" at Nova Rock Festival from 07.06.-10.06.2023. Together with other scientists and PhD students from Monanuniversität Leoben, they showcased their research interests in an unconventional setting, exploring new ways for science communication and outreach. This unique approach of information transfer was met with enthusiasm from both festival-goers and our researchers, affirming the resounding message that "Science rocks! 🤘 " For more information, visit: https://www.unileoben.ac.at/sommer-line-up/

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 .
