How do you challenge the struggles with your PhD? How do you explain nanoscience to pupils in elementary school? And how do you maintain the balance between science and social activities? These are topics discussed in a podcast where Areej Al-Sabban from Lund University Global Engagement talks to Adam Burke, Patrik Nilsson, and Pratik Bhagwat. In a recent podcast made by Areej Al-Sabban from Lund

Physics World reports that Researchers at NanoLund have grown single continuous GaAs nanowires consisting of segments of pure wurtzite and zincblende phases. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, they found that the spatial confinement along the radius of a nanowire resulted in bending of the band structure of the material.Read the article "Radial band bending at wurtzite–zinc-blende–GaAs interfac

Understanding interface formation between InAs semiconductors and hafnium dioxide insulating layers Most semiconductor devices are still based on silicon, even though other semiconductor materials such as InAs have superior electrical properties. The problem with these materials is that their interface towards thin insulating layers, which are needed for e.g. transistor processing, contains many d
