Laboratory for crystallographic materials research for solar energy conversion
- synthesis of powder reference samples of chalcogenide compound semiconductors by solid state reaction (fig. 1)
- synthesis of chalcogenide nanoparticles by wet-chemical routes (fig.2)
- synthesis of hybrid-perovskites
- chemical analysis of the synthesized material by WDX spectroscopy using an electron microprobe system
(Freie Universitaet Berlin, Institute of Geological Sciences) - basic structural analysis of the synthesized materials by X-ray powder diffraction
