NOMAD CAMELS is our new open-source software that generates future-oriented research data in line with the FAIR principles in a simple way during experiments. FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable, which are key criteria for the subsequent re-use of data. With CAMELS an...

Silicon carbide (SiC) has developed into a high-performance semiconductor technology in recent years. This goes hand in hand with excellent monocrystalline wafer material and continuously improving process technology as well as understanding of SiC’s fundamental material and device physics. However,...

Experiments are a key ingredient of materials science. Instruments are built, data are collected on a routine basis in every laboratory in universities, research institutes, and industrial sites, but often data is only used for answering a specific question in the hands of a local investigator. In t...

The new Research Training Group (RTG) 2861 of TU Dresden and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg combines innovation and interdisciplinarity in research and education in the field of planar carbon lattices (PCL). It is one of eleven Research Training Groups nationwide that have currently been approved by the Germ...

How fast does a diode actually work? If it is operated under ideal conditions, it can be recharged up to 2 trillion times per second - until now, it has not been possible to go faster in conventional high-frequency circuits. Using a physical trick, a research team from Friedrich-Alexander-Universitä...

Prof. Krstić awarded Advisory Professorship at the Excellent Core "International Research Center for Silent Voice Sensing" at the Japan Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) Due to his research activities and merits in the field of the electronic and optical properties of nano- and quantum-ma...

The Chair of Applied Physics at FAU is involved in the FAIRmat project, which was selected on Friday, July 2, 2021 by the Joint Science Conference (Gemeinsame Wissenschaftskonferenz - GWK) in a multi-stage competition of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The project will receive fund...

Thermoelectricity is a physical phenomenon that describes how temperature differences within a solid produce electrical voltages. An illustrative application of this would be, for example, charging a wristwatch by exploiting the temperature difference between wrist and environment. Matthias Popp ...

New method finds defects in power transistors more accurately, quickly and simply Transistors are needed wherever current flows, and they are an indispensable component of virtually all electronic switches. In the field of power electronics, transistors are used to switch large currents. However, o...

Publication of PhD student Maximilian Rühl appears as featured article in Applied Physics Letters Atom-size light sources, which can emit single photons, are one of the building blocks for applications in quantum technology such as quantum cryptography and quantum computers. Molecules are possible ...
