Dr. Charles Bevis, PostDoc at LUXEM, joins the DiProI@FERMI Team for Beamtime in imaging science.

LUXEM welcomes Carmelo Grova, Ph.D. candidate in Physics, with the first official group event.

Dr. Oliviero Cannelli has defended his thesis entitled "Photo- and thermally-induced electronic and structural dynamics in perovskites and transition metal oxides" as the result of his research activity at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne with Prof. Majed Chergui (LSU/LACUS) and Prof. Giulia Mancini (now LUXEM, UniPv).

The Stati Generali are for Regione Lombardia one of the main moments of confrontation with its stakeholders - Companies, Universities, Technological Clusters, Research Bodies, etc. - on the new frontiers of research and innovation and on regional development strategies on the subject. Prof. Mancini (UniPv), Prof. Saccomandi (Polimi), and Prof. Bollati (Unimib), as ERC Grant-winning researchers at Lombardy universities, converse with the Councilor for Education, University, Research, Innovation and Simplification, Fabrizio Sala, at the presence of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, Prof. Maria Cristina Messa.

Giulia Mancini led a joint experiment at FXE (local contact Frederico Lima) of her own team and Prof. Majed Chergui’s team from EPFL in late August. At FXE, it was possible to perform simultaneously time-resolved X-ray emission spectroscopy on a spinel Co3o4 27nm thin film, unraveling crucial structural and electronic information about relaxation cascade and clarifying the involvement of Co(II) and Co(III) centers are in the charge carrier dynamics.

Light activation of lead-halide perovskites induces polaronic lattice distortions, here quantified with atomic-level precision. Electron–phonon coupling drives the crystal changes, which are unlocked upon charge-carrier recombination and in the absence of thermal effects. This study clarifies the structure–property relationships in out-of-equilibrium conditions, underpinning the developments of perovskite-based devices. Image credit: Balázs Őrley. Find out more

Given her scientific track-record and in recognition of the recently awarded European Research Council Starting Grant (ERC StG 2019), Dr. Giulia Fulvia Mancini was named Associate Professors in Physics by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR). Prof. Mancini will join the Department of Physics at the University of Pavia, Italy.
