International Dresden Barkhausen Award 2013

The awardee 2013 is Prof. Dr. Oliver G. Schmidt, Director the of Institute for Integrative Nanosciences (IIN) at IFW Dresden.

The award ceremony takes place on March 7th 2014 at the International Colloquium “Research and Development of Barkhausen Noise Technique and Magnetic Materials” at the New Technical Center of the Electronics Packaging Lab (German abbrev. IAVT) of TU Dresden, Nöthnitzer Straße 66.

Lecture of the Laureate: “Materials, Architectures and Integration of Nanomembranes”

Abstract: Nanomembranes are thin, flexible, transferable and can be shaped into 3D nanoarchitectures. This makes them attractive for a broad range of applications and scientific research fields bridging from flexible magnetoelectronic devices to strain-tunable single photon emitters.If nanomembranes are differentially strained they can roll-up into tubular structures once they are released from their mother substrate. For instance, rolled-up nanomembranes can be exploited to rigorously compact electronic circuitry, energy storage units and novel optical systems. At the same time rolled-up tubes represent ideal micro-fluidic channels. As such they can be employed as optofluidic components to sense single cells and submonolayer condensates. An ambitious idea is to create massively parallel and fully integrated lab-in-a-tube systems on a single chip, which can stimulate, analyze and process biomaterials in minute volumes.If appropriate materials are chosen, rolled-up tubes act as tiny catalytic jet engines which in the ultimate limit may drive compact multifunctional autonomous systems for medical and environmental applications. A most recent development is the creation of hybrid micro-biomotors in which functional rolled-up tubes are mechanically locked to flagella driven bovine sperm cells. These systems may become eventually attractive for supporting artificial fertilization in-vivo.
