MLZ Users 2020: Plenary talks
- Juergen Neuhaus
Positron annihilation is a non-destructive tool for investigating vacancies in materials. A positron annihilates with an electron and emits gamma rays in solids. Their energy distribution is broadened by the momentum component of the annihilating electrons. A positron could be trapped by a vacancy because of Coulomb repulsion from ion cores. Because the momentum distribution of the electrons...
Recent progress with soft nanostructures will be reviewed. Traditionally, data analysis follows two approaches, roughly depending on your geographic position with respect to the Rhine river. While “inversion” predominates in the east, “modeling” is more western. In short, “inversion” minimizes the use of a-priori knowledge, while modeling starts with an idea of what the structure might be,...
Photovoltaics, the direct conversion from sunlight into electricity, has developed into a mature technology during recent past.
Quaternary chalcogenide semiconductors have received increasing attention as absorber material in thin film solar cells, because their constituents are abundant and non toxic. Best performing devices are obtained with off-stoichiometric kesterite-type...
The MLZ directors will give an update about the MLZ during 2020 and the plans for 2021.
This presentation will review the work of the MLZ User Committee by describing how it has been working. A short survey of the major points that have been raised will be also be presented. The major purpose of the talk will be to introduce discussions as to what users of MLZ want, and how these objectives can be helped by actions from the User Committee and MLZ.
