The paper “Micro/Nanostructure Engineering of Epitaxial Piezoelectric alpha-quartz Thin Films on Silicon” has been recently published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
Congratulations to Martí Gich and former N&N Group member Qianzhe Zhang, authors of this work!
This study has been carried out in collaboration with NanoChemLab from Montpellier, France.
The NN group members would like to congratulate Qianzhe Zhang for his excellent work on the Ph.D. thesis defense!
Qianzhe’s thesis is entitled “Microstructural Control of Epitaxial α-Quartz Films” and has been supervised by Dr. Martí Gich from the NN group and Dr. Adrián Carretero-Genevrier from NanoChemLab (Institut d´electronique et des Systèmes – IES, France)
The jury was formed by Dr. Francisco Rivadulla Fernández (Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain), Dr. Mariona Coll Bau (ICMAB-CSIC) and Dr. Romain Bachelet (Lyon Institute of Nanotechnology, France).
Congratulations Qianzhe!
From June 22th to 24th, Donostia (Basque Country) will be the capital of Inorganic Polymorphs due to the organization of the conference “iPolymorphs: Novel routes to inorganic polymorphs“.
Martí Gich and Qianzhe Zhang are attending the meeting: Martí will participate with a Keynote Lecture “Discovering new low-density polymorphs via negative pressure synthesis”, and Qianzhe with a Poster Presentation “Stabilization of expitaxial quartz on Si from amorphous silica films”.
For more information, please visit the conference website and the speakers program.
Qianzhe has secured a CSC scholarship and he has started a PhD thesis in our group under de supervision of Martí Gich.
The N&N group participates in the @NextGEM_eu project, for which we prepared this video explaining how we work with c.elegans. 🪱
