Happy to share that our research on #perovskite is featured by the #letzscience campaign of @FnrLux.

Starting today, this #KPFM image will be displayed on posters found on all tram stops and stickers in buses of Luxembourg City. 🥳🔬

We are looking for a PhD to work on - the synthesis of low dimensional perovskites via multistage evaporation and
- the study of these materials on the atomic scale with scanning probe microscopy methods, such as STM and KPFM.

Group picture time ! Enjoy your Christmas break 🎅🎄🎁🔬📝

[Scanning Probe Microscopy Laboratory 🔬🥼 @SPM_unilu]

This Friday, Thibaut, our first group member (who joined in 2017 when the group was formed) successfully defended his PhD thesis !

Congratulations to Dr. Gallet and thanks to the PhD jury: Phillip Dale, Philip Schulz (@HybridInterface), Mael Guennou and Thomas Unold (@LabUnold)

[Steve Albrecht's Lab @AlbrechtLab]

Back at the top: With nanotextures @HZBSolarOptics, SAMs and an IR back reflector @elalexi, we achieved >29% baseline and certified 29.8%-efficient perovskite/Si tandem solar cells. Congrats to P. Tockhorn, J. Sutter, A. Cruz + the team!
