One of the bottlenecks for the widespread application of Si photonics, and for the merging of electronic and optical functions on the same chip, is the lack of efficient light sources in Si.

Dye (DSC) and Perovskite (PSC) solar cells are revolutionizing views and perspectives in the photovoltaics field so that their efficiency has been raised up to ~22% in only 8 years since the first intuition of prof Miyasaka that faced up to the limit of the absorption capability of the dyes with

CMOS technology exploitation is crucial to fabricate in a reliable manner nanodevices where different qubits based on spin degree of freedom can be implemented.

Phase change materials

The interest in assembling metal nanoparticles (NPs) onto conductive transparent substrates, as fluorine doped-tin-oxide (SnO₂:F, FTO), has increased as the resulting interfaces show interesting optical properties exhibiting structure-dependent transmission/absorption spectra due to th
