Parabolic Mirror Nanooptics Group

Group leader: PD Dr. Dai Zhang

Welcome to the parabolic mirror nano optics group website. We are a subgroup of the Nanospectroscopy research group of Prof. Alfred J. Meixner.

As a young and highly motivated group, we are dedicated in developing novel optical microscopic techniques and in applying them to study the light-matter interactions in the fields of fundamental as well as application-oriented science.

News:

• Welcome to the team! Peng Miao just jointed the group as an exchange PhD student from Harbin Institute of Technology.
• Welcome to the team! Arthur Galbacs, Heiko Schmidt, and Jacqueline Händel will start Internships at our group.
• Welcome to the team! Pan Lin just joined the group for his PhD thesis about studying the interactions between quantum emitters and nanoantennas. He is a joint-supervision PhD student with Prof. Pierre-Michel Adam, UTT, France.
• Jiyong's paper titled 'Carrier Recombination and Plasmonic Emission Channels in Metallic Photoluminescence' has been accepted for publication at Nanoscale!
• Marius's equal first-author paper titled 'Local Observation of Phase Segregation in Mixed-Halide Perovskite' has been accepted for publication at Nano Lett., 2018, DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.8b00505.
• Congratulations to Dr. Marius van den Berg for a successful PhD defence on 24 Jan. 2018!
• Marius's collaborative work 'Designing high performance all-small molecule solar cells with non-fullerene acceptors: comprehensive studies on photoexcitation dynamics and charge separation kinetics' has been accepted for publication at Energy & Environmental Science.
• Welcome to the team: Viktoriya Kim just joined our group for a 9-weeks Praktikum. She will implement a dark-field optical microscopy function to our ultrafast laser setup under the supervision of Anke.
• We have successfully organized the Taiwan-Germany workshop: ‘Ultrafast laser spectroscopy and high-resolution optical imaging of plasmonics and molecular systems’. This is a joint workshop with EKUT's strategic partner National Taiwan University. It is supported by the Institutional Strategy of the University of Tübingen (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, ZUK 63).
• Congratulations to Dr. Jiyong Wang for a successful PhD defence on 21 September!
• Yu-Ting Chen will start his Doctoral studies here in Juli and already checked in now! His main focus will be on non-linear optics and TERS.
