Emergence of Intrinsic One-Dimensional Excitons in Colloidal Bi13S18I2 Nanocrystals We present a synthesis method for colloidal nanocrystals exhibiting a one-dimensional Peierls-like distortion in the form of size-tunable colloidal and monodisperse Bi13S18I2 nanorods. The Bi13S18I2 n...

Cu-Doped Cs3Sb2Cl9 Nanocrystals: Revisiting the Low Bandgap of Cs2CuSbCl6 Double Perovskites Lead-free halide double perovskite Cs2CuSbCl6 nanocrystals have recently been reported to have a low bandgap of 1.66 eV. In this work, we show that the optical absorption spectra and X-ray diffraction...

In the vast field of double #perovskites, we took a closer look at Cs2CuSbCl6 #nanocrystals, and found that the reported purple absorption of for these materials comes from Cu doping into Cs3Sb2Cl9!

Glad to hear !😀

Three new ERC grants at LMU Three early-career researchers have each been awarded a Starting Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for their projects with LMU.

#ERCStartingGrants to #LMU researchers: nanoscientist @q-akkerman.bsky.social , cultural studies scholar Marianna Mazzola, and biophysicist @lfmilles.bsky.social. The @erc.europa.eu awards based on excellence – among Europe’s most prestigious grants. ✨ #ERC #Research www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/...

I´m am beyond thrilled to share that I have been awarded the #ERCStG by the @erc.europa.eu for my project CONTROL!

Looking forward to 5 years of exciting research on #Perovskite #QuantumDots!

Congratulations to Kushagra Gahlot for getting the Alexander-von-Humboldt Fellowship! Well deserved!

Thanks @bardmital.bsky.social ! Time to see what Bluesky is all about!
