Material science and nanostructures produced with GeV heavy ions ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Christina Trautmann is the head of the Materials Research Department of the GSI Helmholtz Center in Darmstadt (Germany) who operates a large scale accelerator facility for swift heavy ions.

Christina graduated in physics at the Technische Universität in Munich and received her PhD from the University of Frankfurt. Her research activities cover interaction processes of energetic, MeV to GeV, heavy ions with matter with focus on ion-beam induced modifications including defect and track formation in different material classes, performance limits of materials applied in high-dose environment and exposed to prolonged radiation (e.g., outer space, nuclear waste storage, reactor or accelerator environment, etc.) and the question how solids respond to the simultaneous exposure to pressure and ion beams. Together with her group and students from the TU Darmstadt, Christina operates several beamlines at the GSI accelerator facility and provides support to internal and external users for irradiation experiments that are dedicated to materials science including in-situ sample analysis by microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. She also promotes heavy ion beams for ion-track nanotechnology where the ion beam is used as tool for producing high-aspect-ratio micro- and nanostructures such as nanochannels and nanowires with tailored properties.

Christina teaches at the Technische Universität Darmstadt and is Editor of the Journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B, Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms.

Professor at the Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton, UK

Peter G. Kazansky studied physics in Moscow State University and received Ph.D. under supervision of Nobel Laureate for the invention of laser A.M. Prokhorov from the General Physics Institute in 1985. He was awarded the Leninskii Komsomol Prize in 1989 for the pioneering work on "Circular photogalvanic effect in crystals". From 1989 to 1993 he led a group in the GPI, which unraveled the mystery of light-induced frequency doubling in glass. In 1992 he joined the ORC at the University of Southampton where since 2001 he is a professor pursuing his interests in new optical materials and phenomena. More recently he pioneered the field of ultrafast laser nanostructuring in glass leading to invention of “5D memory crystal,” which holds a Guinness world record for the most durable data storage medium. From 2014 he is also a director of the International Centre of Laser Technologies in Mendeleev University of Technical Technologies. He served as Vice-Chair of the Committee on Glasses for Optoelectronics of International Commission on Glass and is a Fellow of Optical Society of America.

Konstantin Klementiev studied solid state physics in Moscow Engineering-Physics Institute and received his doctor’s degree in 1998 with work in high temperature superconductivity and XAFS as the main experimental technique. While working as a postdoc and beamline scientist at DESY/Hamburg, he became more and more interested in methods and instrumentation in synchrotron radiation applications. Consequently, this interest resulted in the development of a ray-tracing and wave propagation toolkit xrt comprising physical models of synchrotron radiation sources and x-ray optics along with associated analysis tools (xrt.readthedocs.io). This development influenced and also gained from the design, assembly and commissioning of two XAFS/XES beamlines, first at Alba synchrotron and then at MAX IV, while he was working as beamline principal in Barcelona (2006-2013) and Lund (from 2013). His present focus is in bringing Balder – the XAFS/XES beamline of MAX IV – into full user operation.

Novel multi-functional self-cleaning, air cleaning and thermochromic films for the built environment ​​​​​​​

Lars Österlund is Professor in solid state physics with specialization in environmental science and technology at Uppsala University. He is board member of the Uppsala Center for Photon Sciences, and is vice-chairman of the International Science Program. He is the co-founder of the Swedish Society of Vibrational Spectroscopy and was its president from 2010-2017. He is currently also CEO of a spin-off company developing micro-structured diamond waveguides.

Prof. Österlund has a PhD from 1997 from Chalmers, were his thesis work involved fundamental surface science studies of photo-induced surface reactions on single crystal surfaces employing a broad range of surface spectroscopic methods and reaction kinetic modelling. His postdoc research involved fundamental studies of surface reactions on single crystal surfaces employing scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), Monte-Carlo simulations of surface kinetics, and development of a high-pressure STM with atom-resolved imaging capabilities up to 1 bar and atomistic proof that was used to bridge the so called pressure gap in catalysis. A general theme of his current research is development of catalytic materials, including solar light responsive materials, such as photocatalytic materials, self-cleaning surface coatings, solid state gas-sensors and smart windows and façades within the general theme of technologies for improved indoor climate.

Recent internationally recognized results from his research include the invention of a simple method to modify acid-base properties of oxide surfaces based on photo-fixation of electrophilic or nucleophilic molecules from gas-phase (Handelsbanken Innovation Prize 2009; subject of commercialization), which also has been extended to a new low-temperature photocatalyst with superior sustained activity. His group has recently developed a new photocatalytic multilayer material for sustained indoor air-cleaning films for smart windows that allows for one-pass cleaning of VOC up to low ppm levels. Other recent activities include developed a new PVD methodology to prepare (001) facet-controlled anatase TiO2 nanoparticle films for photocatalysis applications; discovery of a general structure-reactivity relationship of photocatalytic anatase and rutile titania nanoparticles (patented); development of colloidal lithography for fabrication of ordered nano-patterned multi-layered photonic bandgap materials for photocatalysis applications, invention of microfabricated diamond IR waveguide methods for biomolecular imaging and integration with affinity layer technology (patented); and development of Raman imaging methods in nanomedical applications.

Experimental Physics VI, Julius Maximilian University, Würzburg, Germany

Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research (ZAE Bayern e.V.), Würzburg, Germany

Jens Pflaum studied physics at the Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany, where he received his PhD in 1999 for his work on magnetic resonance studies on exchange coupled ferromagnetic thin films. As a post-doc fellow at Princeton University from 1999 until 2001 his research focus shifted to organic thin films and their electronic transport properties. Returning back to Stuttgart University, Germany, in 2001 he extended this work to molecular single crystals which can be considered reference systems for studying fundamental questions on charge carrier and exciton transport in narrow bandwidth semiconductors and, in particular, its interaction with lattice dynamics. In 2008 he received a professorship at the Institute of Experimental Physics VI at Julius Maximilian University in Würzburg, where since then he is addressing questions on energy research and novel applications of organic semiconductors. By the strong application driven research he was appointed group manager for ‘Organic Photovoltaics and Electronics (OPE)’ at the Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research (ZAE Bayern e.V.) in 2008 and holds membership in various scientific committee boards, including that of the ‘International Conference on Organic Electronics (ICOE)’ or the ‘International Conference of Photovoltaics’.

Jens Pflaum’ s scientific interests span a broad range of topics, including fundamental questions on electronic and optical excitations in organic semiconductors and their implementation in thin film devices, such as OLEDs, transistors or photovoltaics. Recently he extended his activities to molecular based quantum devices, demonstrating the first, electrically driven single photon source at room temperature, as well as to thermoelectric applications of low-dimensional organic conductors.
