CTFM Chair

Chair 'Chemistry of Thin Film Materials'

Research Focus

Chemistry of Thin Film MaterialsResearch in the chair ‘Chemistry of Thin Film Materials’ focuses on the development of preparative methods for nanostructured inorganic materials and interfaces at which various types of energy conversion phenomena can be studied. We create inorganic nanoparticles and nanostructures with accurately tunable geometry, and we study their physical and chemical properties systematically as they vary with the geometric parameters. We are particularly interested in the transport and exchange of electrons and ions at interfaces in solar cells, batteries, and other electrodes. We are part of FAU’s ‘Interdisciplinary Center for Nanostructured Films’ (IZNF).

Research activities are carried in three groups, led by Prof. Julien Bachmann, Dr. Ryan Crisp, and Dr. Maïssa Barr.

Our commitment

Members of the CTFM chair are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment in our laboratory, where all have the opportunity to reach their highest potential as scientists and people. We believe that a diversity of skills, perspectives, and experiences is critical to the success of our research and constitutes our greatest strength as a group. We welcome and value researchers of any ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical ability, socioeconomic status, age and more. Our goal is to create and maintain a culture such that each member of the group feels they belong and each can flourish. This culture is achieved through tailored mentorship, interdisciplinary learning, and a collaborative atmosphere. We are committed to promoting these values of inclusivity and equity within the scientific community and beyond.
