Multidimensional Spectroscopy at the Attosecond frontier (MIDAS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

The invention of multidimensional spectroscopy was a major leap in nuclear magnetic resonance. Comparable schemes in the optical regime have led to significant advances in our understanding of ultrafast dynamics in complex molecular systems. Currently, these multidimensional approaches are the most powerful and complete measurement schemes for resolving molecular dynamics on femtosecond time scale ...

From atom-to-Device Explicit simulation Environment for Photonics and Electronics Nanostructures (DEEPEN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"DEEPEN will develop an integrated open source multiscale simulation environment, targeted at problems common to future nanoscale electronic and photonic devices. New device simulators require an atomic-scale description of selected critical regions of a transistor or LED to capture details otherwise inaccessible. They must also resolve the considerable uncertainty in many critical parameters requ ...

Phase Change Memory Advanced universal Switches through Thin alteRnating laYers (PASTRY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Charge storage has been the main physical mechanism supporting all solid state mass storage memories until now, both DRAM and FLASH. However none of the two main memory types appear to fully satisfy system requirements, DRAM because of its volatility and large power dissipation, and FLASH because of its slow programming speed and large block organization. PCM technology is a promising candidate to ...

AlGaInN materials on semi-polar templates for yellow emission in solid state lighting applications (ALIGHT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

With up to 20% of electrical energy being consumed by lighting, it is important to use this energy wisely. Replacing the inefficient light generation technologies of today with solid state lighting based on gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting diodes (LEDs) will enable us to reduce this 20% to 10% or even 5%. However, several factors need to be addressed to accelerate the uptake of this emerging ...

Correlated Multielectron Dynamics in Intense Light Fields (CORINF)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Application of intense light fields opens the opportunity to image structures and dynamics of individual molecules with the combination of sub-Angstrom spatial and attosecond temporal resolution. However, intense light fields inevitably excite complex dynamics. The success of imaging techniques depends on our understanding of these largely unknown dynamics, creating demand for the theory of comple ...
