26.11.2013 - BESUCH AM GREMI

Judith Golda stayed at GREMI [Groupe de Recherches sur l'Energetique des Millieux Ionises], Université Orléans, (France) from October 29th till November 25th, 2013, her supervisor Dr. Volker Schulz-von der Gathen visited GREMI as well from November 15th till 25th, 2013. They work together with Dr. Remi Dussart and PhD student Valentin Felix. The cooperative work on the development of microarrays is supported by the DAAD in the frame of a bilateral PROCOPE project (ID 54366312).

29.07.2013 - EXCHANGE UNIVERSITY OF ULSTER – RUHR-UNIVERSITÄT BOCHUM

Jun.-Prof. Jan Benedikt and PhD student Barbara Barwe, both belonging to the Ruhr-University group of “Coupled Plasma-Solid States Systems”, visited the group “Plasma Science and Nanoscale Engineering” led by Dr. Davide Mariotti at the University of Ulster (UK) from July 22nd till 26th. Both groups are working on the production and characterization of Silicon Nanocrystals by RF-microplasma. During this one-week, ideas were discussed upon reactor set-up, synthesis practices as well as characterization and diagnostic methods. Silicon Nanocrystals have been produced in Bochum and were and still will be optically characterized at the University of Ulster.
This visit and collaboration is supported by Leverhulme Trust International Network (LINet) funding scheme, which was granted to Dr. Mariotti in Dezember 2012.

24.04.2013 - PROF. JÖRG WINTER AN DER BILKENT UNIVERSITY, ANKARA

Vom 17. bis zum 20. April 2013 war Prof. Jörg Winter zu Gast bei Prof. Ömer Ilday am Ultrafast Optics & Lasers Laboratory der Bilkent University in Ankara, Türkei. Dort hielt er einen Vortrag über "Exploring the 4th State of Matter" und verlängertes das Kooperationsabkommen mit der Bilkent University.

09.04.2013 - QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF OH RADICALS BY CAVITY RINGDOWN SPECTROSCOPY IN ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MICRO-PLASMAS FOR BIO-MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

From March the 24rd to April 6th, 2013, the PhD-students Simon Schneider and Daniel Schröder from project C1 and A1, as well as Jun.-Prof. Dr. Jan Benedikt, all members of the DFG Research Unit FOR1123, visited the group of Prof. RNDr. Jaroslav Vlcek at the University of West Bohemia, Plzen, CZ.
During this stay, absolute densities of OH radicals in the effluent of the micro-scaled atmospheric pressure plasma jet (µ-APPJ) have been measured in dependence of different concentrations of water impurities in the feed gas. This has been achieved by using a highly sensitive laser diagnostics called Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy.
A common publication is in progress and a counter-visit is planned for next year.

28.01.2013 - STEFAN SPIEKERMEIER AT BILKENT UNIVERSITY IN ANKARA

From January 13th till 27th, 2013 Stefan Spiekermeier visited the Group of Prof. Ömer Ilday at Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey. Dr. Marc Böke, his supervisor, visited as well from January 22nd till 24th, 2013.
His group developed the fiber-laser-system that is used for laser assisted plasma breakdown and phase resolved absorption spectroscopy at RUB. During the stay, a new temperature stabilized oscillator for the laser has been tested. Further improvements for the laser have been discussed. Aside from that, an attempt to ignite a plasma inside a hollow-core-PCF-fiber has been made.
