Last week Ismael, Amel and Susana visited #ALBAsynchrotron to carry out experiments at BL11 on thin film for X-Ray detectors. Many thanks to the beamline staff for their asistance, it's a pleasure and a privilege to keep coming back! 🔬📸

🔵13 NOV - Próximo #SeminarioIMN: 'Understanding the nanoscale environment is key for the design of perovskite-based photonic devices' con la participación de Miguel Anaya, investigador y líder del grupo @smslab.bsky.social en @icmsevilla.bsky.social - @unisevilla.bsky.social ⤵️⤵️

Great way to start the week: our new SMSLab website is now live! 🎉💻 Dive into our research, team members, and latest news at smslab.es

🥳Huge congratulations to our own Susana for winning the STAOC Award for the Best Doctoral Thesis! 🏆🏆 A well-deserved recognition of her outstanding research and dedication @fisicaus.bsky.social @unisevilla.bsky.social @cienciasuco.bsky.social @uco.es #ICMS #STAOC-RSEQ

💕 🍀 We are incredibly lucky to count a world expert on nanoscale photonic processes as a part of our team and it's great to see her being recognized for her many contributions to the field.

👀 Check us out! Our own Dr. Sol Carretero has been featured in the "New Principal Investigators" series by @rsc.org @rscadvances.rsc.org, including a highlight of our recent work on plasmon-enhanced perovskite LEDs!

Thanks to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi and all those that opened the path for the field to grow, and thanks to our sponsors Fundación BBVA, @ageinves.bsky.social for believing in the work we do.

#NobelPrize #chemistry #MOFs #RSEQ

Deep understanding of their behaviour through insitu and operando experiments at @diamondlightsource.bsky.social and #ALBA_Synchrotron allows us to develop new light sources, high energy radiation detectors and other devices at
ICMS, @fisicaus.bsky.social @unisevilla.bsky.social

📢 MOFs pioneers receive The @nobelprize.bsky.social in chemistry!

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of our favourite materials at @smslab.bsky.social . These systems show extremely versatile properties that we use to play with photons. 🧵

Starting the school year fresh, ready, and 📸photogenic! @fisicaus.bsky.social We are excited to welcome new group members and jump back into classroom learning, with our group members teaching across Physics, Chemistry, Materials Engineering, and more. See you around campus! 🧑‍🎓

✨🧑‍🔬We are also elated to welcome Aaron Bayles to the SMSLab! He joins us from Rice University with a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship #MSCA @ec.europa.eu to continue his work on the synthesis of aluminium nanoparticles.

🥳✨We are delighted to welcome Susana Ramos to the SMSLab! She joins us from the University of Córdoba @uco.es @cienciasuco.bsky.social with a Juan de la Cierva fellowship @ageinves.bsky.social to continue her research on perovskite-based devices.

@unisevilla.bsky.social @fisicaus.bsky.social

What an outstanding achievement!! 🌟 Our own Marta Zarzuela has just been awarded the 2025 FEMS Master Thesis Award, competing among the best materials science students in Europe 🏆 Huge congratulations from all of us 🎉👏

Plasmonic nanoparticles boost low-current perovskite LEDs governed by photon recycling effects Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have emerged as a promising technology for next-generation display and lighting applications, thanks to their remarkable colour purity, tunability, and ease o...

📢📢New publication! We present a theoretical study on how silver plasmonic nanoparticles increase the quantum yield of green-emitting perovskite LEDs and how this can contribute to these devices operating at lower injection currents than previously reported @rscadvances.rsc.org @rsc.org

🎉🎉 Congratulations to our postdoctoral researcher Victoria Esteso for being awarded a Junta de Andalucía Postdoctoral Fellowship #JuntadeAndalucia. We are elated that she will continue her research with @smslab.bsky.social at @unisevilla.bsky.social @fisicaus.bsky.social

We thank our funding @cienciagob.bsky.social @ageinves.bsky.social and FundacionBBVA for their great support

This is an important milestone to achieve stable narrowband photodetectors by photonics. Our purely optical strategy enables narrow spectral response in ranges previously only achieved through halide mixing, allowing us to avoid instability promoted by halide segregation.

📢📢New publication! We demonstrate a narrowband perovskite photodetector with tunable spectral response, controlled via film thickness and light incidence angle. Now online at @pubs.acs.org. Great collaboration with StranksLab group @samstranks.bsky.social. More details: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Big congratulations to our own Irene Vigneron González for winning the @gefes-rsef.bsky.social research award to work with us on developing multistate perovskite-based memristors 🔬 🏆! A fantastic recognition of her talent and dedication — well done! 👏 🎉

These last weeks we have been visiting @diamondlightsource.bsky.social to carry out several experiments at beamlines b21, i14 and i15-1.🔬Many thanks to all the beamline staff for their assistance. Always a privilege to work at such a world-class synchrotron facility!🙌🙌

Recently, our master students Carmen and Guada have successfully completed their master thesis at
@unisevilla.bsky.social @fisicaus.bsky.social @etsii-us.bsky.social 🎓🎓. Huge congrats to both on this important achievement – wishing you all the best for what’s ahead!!

We also want to warmly congratulate Pablo, who has also nailed his bachelor thesis these days! 🎉🎓 Wishing you the very best in your next adventures!

In the last days our students Irene, MariCarmen and Amel
@unisevilla.bsky.social @fisicaus.bsky.social have passed their bachelor thesis with flying colours 💯👩‍🎓. Congratulations to the new graduates and good luck in your next steps!!🫂🫂

What a joy for all of us to see you receive this well-deserved award! 🏆 🏆 You are a true role model for every member of @smslab.bsky.social. It's a constant pleasure to work with you. Congratulations, Miguel @anayalab.bsky.social ! #HQS
