Making charge transfer visible

A research team at the University of Graz, in international collaboration, has clarified the mechanism of charge transfer at interfaces between organic semiconductors and molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃), a material used in modern organic electronics.

ÖPG Dissertation Prize goes to Georg Thomas Boné

Every year, the Austrian Physical Society (ÖPG) awards dissertation prizes to outstanding young scientists. This year, Dr. Georg Thomas Boné won the ÖPG Dissertation Prize. The award ceremony took place on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 in Linz as part of the ÖPG annual conference.

Josef-Krainer-Förderpreis an Thomas Georg Boné

Alljährlich werden rund um den steirischen Landesfeiertag, den Josefitag, traditionell die Josef Krainer-Preise verliehen. In diesem Jahr konnte Dr. Georg Thomas Boné einen der begehrten Josef-Krainer-Förderungspreise gewinnen. Die Verleihung erfolgte am Donnerstag (21.03.2024) in der Aula der Alten Universität in Graz in feierlichem Rahmen durch Landeshauptmann Christopher Drexler, Gerald Schöpfer (Obmann des Josef Krainer-Steirischen Gedenkwerkes) und Dorothea Jaufer, Tochter von Josef Krainer sen.

Targeting Nanostructures: Heptacene and its Versatility

On nanometer-patterned templates, the electronic properties of long-chain organic semiconductors can be deliberately tailored.

POT detects molecular bend

Photoemission-Orbital-Tomography detects the bend of the molecular backbone of a Pi conjugated molecule upon adsorption on a MgO surface.

Momentum Microscopy at Work

Scientists of the University of Graz succeeded in visualising the electronic structure of long-chain organic semiconductors and altering it by means of temperature effects in a controlled manner.

Charge makes the difference

A recent paper published by researchers of the Surface Science group in Angewandte Chemie (International Edition) demonstrates how the self-metalation reaction of porphyrin molecules on magnesium oxide surfaces can be controlled via their charge state.
