Guided lab tour at Paul-Drude-Institut (PDI)

Location:Paul-Drude-Institut (PDI)Track:Tour

The Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik (PDI) performs basic and applied research at the nexus of materials science, condensed matter physics, and device engineering. It is located in the heart of Berlin near Gendarmenmarkt. We focus on the fabrication and analysis of nanomaterials for semiconductor technology. Since our foundation in 1992, we have been dedicated to the advancement of materials science, particularly in the development and application of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We have the expertise and facilities in-house to manage the entire process from growth of materials, to microstructural characterization, spectroscopic analysis, and theoretical modeling. PDI works closely with partners from science, industry and academia.

During the visit you will receive an overview of the institute’s activities and visit different laboratories of the institute. Namely, the large molecular beam epitaxy facility, the “Application Laboratory Time-resolved Cathodoluminescence Spectroscopy (ZALKAL)”, as well as our laboratory for the development and characterization of terahertz-emitting quantum cascade lasers (QCLs)."
