Year: 2019

Shuai and Iftikhar had both worked during their PhD on multilayer coatings, though on very different applications. Iftikhar designed and processed multi-layer barrier coatings for organic electronics, while Shuai developed and demonstrated multilayer dielectric mirrors for vapor sensing and mic...

The Highly Cited Researchers List 2019 lists the world's most influential researchers from 21 scientific disciplines. The department of Materials Science @ FAU is continuously ranked in that list consecutively for several years. This year, Prof Christoph J Brabec and Prof Patrik Schmuki have agai...

FAU is presenting its ambitious goals to develop solutions to the energy and climate crisis on the recently released "Energy & Climate" homepage. You will find many interesting statements from researchers across all faculties and disciplines, who are united by sharing one common goal - ho...

After almost precisely 4 years at i-MEET Ening finished her PhD with very good success.

A research team from Nuremberg and Erlangen has set a new record for the power conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaic modules (OPV) that exceeds the previous one by 30 percent!

Congratulations to Klaus for finishing his PhD studies with distinction.

The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg with the Chair Materials for Electronics and Energy Technology (i-MEET) hosted the 5th EU- Israel project iPEN Innovative Photonics Education in Nanotechnology Progress Meeting in November 2019 and the 3rd Intensive Course in Laser Based Patterning & Sinterin...

A new type of organic solar modules from i-MEET, ZAE and HI-ErN was tested in space (the stratosphere) at 37 km altitude.

Based on their recent investigations on fully printed infrared photodetectors and mid infrared giant nanocrystals, Amir Y. Amin and Niall Killilea proposed the “next generation of infrared sensors”.

Josef and Markus from ZAE finished their PhD in June.
