This School is held within a new groundbreaking Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s program, “GREENANO”, dedicated to advancing Nanomaterials for Green and Digital Transitions.
During the Summer school, the students will have an opportunity to work on state-of-the-art laboratory instruments and theoretical simulations and they will study the self-assembly/on-surface synthesis of organic Nanostructures as well as the fabrication of different types of solar cells.
The school will contain seminars on the main theoretical aspects subsequently illustrated by the experiments. Students will produce their own devices including chemical sensors and solar cells.The first week will be devoted to the photovoltaic (PV) cells preparation and characterization (at the Chose laboratory) and the structural/ morphological characterization of the active materials composing the devices (at CNR-ISM SpecX Laboratory). After the theoretical lessons, the students will fabricate and characterize a DSSC solar cell. The students will also participate in the “real life CHOSE”; and work alongside researchers during their research activities, participating in the fabrication and characterization of perovskite cells and/or another type of hybrid or organic optoelectronic devices.
In the second week, the students will be involved in the synthesis of organic nanostructures on a metallic single crystal and in the theoretical simulation of their properties by DFT methods. For the experimental part, the students will synthesize the organic nanostructure in a ultra-high vacuum (UHV) apparatus to study the system by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). For the theoretical part, atomistic simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) will be performed to refine the interpretation of STM and XPS measurements and to gain further insight at the atomistic level into the structural and electronic properties of the metal-organic interface and the organic nanostructure.
In the third week, the students will travel for three days to the Elettra Laboratory in Trieste, where they will visit the Elettra synchrotron and Fermi free-electron laser sources. In addition, they will practice for two days at the Elettra synchrotron radiation source, working on four different beamlines with various spectroscopic techniques.
