Guest Lecture Prof. Stephanie Reich

On Thursday, 30 May 2024, Prof. Stephanie Reich, Freie Universität Berlin, held a guest lecture at the Collaborative Research Centre 1415. In her lecture "Collective optical excitations in artificial superlattices" she showed that the optical excitations of nanomaterials are well suited to create collective superlattice states, because the interaction between the transition dipole moments is comparatively long range in nature. They experimentally realized diverse types of artificial superlattices, e.g., one-dimensional chains of molecules inside nanotubes, self-assembled lattices of organic molecules on two-dimensional, and three-dimensional supercrystals made of gold nanoparticles.

We thank Prof. Reich for an educational lecture. Many thanks all participants for attending.
