Prof. Michael Gottfried is honored with an SCS Lectureship 2016.
The SCS Lectureship is sponsored by the Swiss Chemical Society and Prof. Gottfried will tour from June 6-10, 2016. His host during this time is Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Ernst at EMPA.
At the 7th Joint BER II and BESSY II User Meeting in Berlin, Michael Klues, Ph.D. student in SFB-project A2 of Prof. Dr. Gregor Witte, won this year’s poster prize.
In his poster Michael Klues presented results of a combined experimental and theoretical study on the NEXAFS signature of perfluorinated acenes. The detailed understanding of these data will enable the future analysis of more complex spectra, arising from samples containing two or more different molecular specimen for instance in organic/organic interfaces which are in the scope of SFB 1083. The project was realized in cooperation with members of Prof. Dr. Robert Berger’s group in SFB-project B8 from the chemistry department.
7th Joint BER II and BESSY II User Meeting: The conference brings together the international user communities of the two HZB large scale research facilities to enable presentation and discussion of results obtained with neutrons and synchrotron radiation. Especially the latter is of interest for projects within SFB 1083 since many questions can experimentally only be addressed by synchrotron radiation based methods.
Poster “Gaining deeper insight into the electronic structure of extended aromatic molecules by NEXAFS” by M. Klues, T. Breuer, P. Jerabek, M. Oehzelt, R. Berger, and G. Witte (Philipps-Universität Marburg) – The 7th Joint BER II and BESSY II User Meeting Dec 9-11, 2015, Berlin Adlershof, Germany.

SFB 1083 congratulates its members Prof. Dr. Mackillo Kira, Marburg, and Dr. Daniel Sánchez-Portal from the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) in Spain upon their election as Fellows to the American Physical Society (APS).
Prof. Dr. Mackillo Kira (left), Co-PI of project B4 “Microscopic theory of optical excitations in interface- dominated material systems”, has been elected Fellow of the APS in recognition “for contributions to theoretical semiconductor quantum optics”. His nomination came through the Division of Laser Science of the APS. See also: Physics-Homepage.
Dr. Daniel Sánchez-Portal (right), Co-PI of project GP1 “Electron dynamics at organic/inorganic interfaces from first principles” based at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) in San Sebastián Spain, has been elected Fellow of the APS in recognition “for contributions to the development and use of electronic structure methods, especially SIESTA and its time-dependent version, which has enabled the simulation of systems of unprecedented complexity.” His nomination came through the Computational Physics Division of the APS.
