30th September 2009:

Christian Weber has won a PhD scholarship from Deutsche Bundesumweltstiftung. His project is entitled: Electrochemical Energy Storage - Supercaps based on novel materials.

1st September 2009:

The Federal Minister for Education and Research, Prof. Dr. Annette Schavan, visited today the research laboratories of Chair of Experimental Physics VI (Julius-Maximilians Universität) and Bavarian Centre for Applied Energy Research (ZAE Bayern). She was given an overview of the energy research carried out in Würzburg, in general, as well as of projects financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in fields of organic photovoltaics and novel carbon based nanomaterials.

17th July 2009:

One of our priorities in research is fundamental understanding of processes in the photogeneration of charges in organic solar cells by modelling and simulations. During his diploma thesis, Thomas Strobel enhanced the concept of our previous Monte Carlo simulations by considering the finite length of polymer chains. Based on his simulations, we were able to describe the origin of the high yield of charge generation in polymer-fullerene solar cells. Today, the work was published in Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 036402 (2009).

22nd April 2009:
