Date: Nov 5, 2025
Time: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Leiming Du
Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Microelectronics at the Delft University of Technology, in Netherlands
Location: Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials
Room: Large Conference Room No. 203
Host: on invitation of Dr. Anwesha Kanjilal and Prof. Gerhard Dehm

Sintered copper (Cu) nanoparticles have emerged as a promising substitute for sintered silver (Ag) nanoparticles in power electronics packaging, offering comparable electrical and thermal conductivities, superior mechanical strength, and lower cost. However, the complex interactions between ... [more]

Ancient craft, new perspective: Recovery and recrystallization of deformed metal nanoparticles

Date: Oct 29, 2025
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Jonathan Zimmerman
Postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Heidelberg, Germany
Location: Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials
Room: Large Conference Room No. 203
Host: on invitation of Prof. Gerhard Dehm

Metallic nanoparticles are utilized in a growing number of applications due to their unique and tunable properties. However, one of the primary tools used to tune bulk metals properties, recrystallization, is yet to be used in the case of nanoparticles. We studied pristine, single crystal platinum ... [more]
