Silicon carbide (SiC) has developed into a high-performance semiconductor technology in recent years. This goes hand in hand with excellent monocrystalline wafer material and continuously improving process technology as well as understanding of SiC’s fundamental material and device physics. However,...
What do the digitization of agriculture, differential equations and electromagnetic radiation have in common? These are three fields of outstanding pre-scientific work with which students from the Nuremberg metropolitan region have won a Dr. Hans Riegel subject prize. A total of 18 papers in the sub...
Santa Corp. has been booming ever since they developed faster-than-light sleigh travel. After his predecessor retired, the new Santa is overwhelmed by work, especially with an extra planet added to his route. Luckily, Noëlle and her father, a shifter at the HESS telescopes in Namibia, are on hand to...
Diversity (in) Physics
There was significant interest among students and researchers at FAU: The symposium “Diversity in physics for the diversity of physics – Erlangen”, DIPHER 22 for short, took place for the first time from October 25 till October 27, 2022. The organizers had set themselves the ...
The Physics Department of the FAU will host the DIPHER-22 Diversity in Physics for the diversity of physics conference on 10/25-27/22. The department offers a wide range of diverse research topics: soft matter physics, physics of the universe, and physics of light and matter interaction. But the di...
The lecture series "Our Physics – Our Research" (OPhOR) was initiated in the winter semester 2016/17, where scientists from the Department of Physics and the Max Planck Institute for the science of light present their current research areas. This is particularly interesting for Bachelor students in ...
