KahmannLab goes Holzhau XXII

Last week, we exchanged the lab for a change of scenery and met with the HLPH group for a joint workshop in Görlitz.

We are very happy to welcome Paundra Pratama to the KahmannLab as a DAAD visiting researcher. Paundra is a PhD candidate in Materials Science and Applied Chemistry at Kumamoto University in the group of Prof. Tetsuya Kida. His research focuses on colloidal metal-halide nanocrystals, particularly the roles of ligand and surface chemistry, lattice metastability, and […]

New paper: Reliable circular dichroism measurements of thin films

A new paper from our collaboration with colleagues at TU Chemnitz and Hasselt University is now out in Applied Physics Letters. Circular dichroism spectroscopy is increasingly used to study chiral thin films, but optical anisotropy can introduce linear-dichroism and birefringence contributions that masquerade as genuine chiroptical signals. In this work, we present a practical step-by-step […]

Simon acts as guest editor for a special collection

We are pleased to highlight the Small Structures special collection “Exploiting Dimensionality in Hybrid Metal Halides – Design, Properties, Applications,” co-edited by Simon together with Wouter Van Gompel, Silvia G. Motti and Bowen Yang. The collection brings together contributions exploring how structural and electronic dimensionality can be used to control the properties of hybrid metal […]
