The #FOTONICS project aims to realize and optimize a photodetector based on the ultra-fast Bi₂Se₃/Si heterojunction, operating at low voltage from ultraviolet to infrared and cheaper than those on the market.
 

The EFSL research group, in collaboration with the Light, Matter and Interfaces Laboratory of Université Paris-Saclay (France), has published a paper in the Advanced Optical Materials journal. The title of the article is "Sharp Spectral Variations of the Ultrafast Transient Light Extinction by Bimetallic Nanoparticles in the Near-UV" by Tadele Orbula Otomalo, Lorenzo Di Mario, Cyrille Hamon, Doru Constantin, Khanh-Van Do, Patrick O'Keeffe, Daniele Catone, Alessandra Paladini and Bruno Palpant.

After an unusual graduate research project in a "remote" EFSL lab (due to anti-covid protocols), Marco Lorenzi graduated on the 24th September 2020 at Tor Vergata University in Rome.

The EFSL Staff congratulate Marco on receiving his Bachelor's degree in Material Science with a thesis entitled “Spettroscopia transiente al femtosecondo di nanostrutture plasmoniche: effetti della morfologia e della composizione”.

We wish him all the best for the future.

The EFSL research group has published a paper in the IOP Nanotechnology journal.
