New paper: Quantification of Material Gradients in Core/Shell Nanocrystals

In this paper we quantify how steeply the material changes at the interface of graded core/shell nanocrystals. By using extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy we determine the coordination environment of one of the constituent ions. We show that cation diffusion is already strong at comparably low synthesis temperatures. At higher temperatures an ordered superlattice forms, which has not been reported before for these systems.

Cluster Workshop

On January 23-24, 2020, the Cluster hosted a workshop under the title "Digitalization, Automation and the Future of the Welfare State", which focused on the implications of the digital transformation of work for labor markets and the welfare state. Organized by Cluster speaker Marius R. Busemeyer, the interdisciplinary workshop brought together a number of scholars from the Universities of Konstanz, Zurich, Harvard, Aarhus, Erfurt and Warwick.
