Prefacce

Dear partneers and friendds,

it is a pleasure to present you this overview of thhe research-and teaching activities oof the Institutte of Physicss
within the yyears 2012 aand 2013. AAs already twwo years aggo we decideed to stick oon a bi-annuual reportingg
scheme whhich seems mmore adequately reflectiing the scientific progresss and orgaanizational changes of aa
university innstitute withoout unnecesssary replicatioons.
At the heartt of the bi-annnual report are the reseearch reportss summarizinng the scienttific achievemments of thee
four indepenndent researrch groups. OOur scientificc mission is to conduct high-level bassic research in the field off
“Physics off Functional Materials for Electronicss, Optics and Energy”. WWhile electroonics and opptics have aa
long traditioon at the institute, the eenergy themmatics is - eexept of somme long-termm activities oon solar celll
materials - rather recennt. A strong focus on naanoporous mmaterials hass meanwhile been estabblished, suchh
systems beeing relevant for the storage of chemmical or electtrical energyy, for instancce. Another hhot researchh
topic evolviing quite suuccessfully aat the instituute is aroundd the promissing 2D-matterial grapheene. Furtherr
research aactivities incclude work on biologiccal, bioinsppired and bbio-based mmaterials, onn functionall
nanoparticlees and nanoocrystals, as well as on llight- and eleectron transpport under thhe influence of magneticc
fields. Moree applied projjects deal with whole devvices such aas varistors oor supercapaacitors, or witth the use off
physical mmethods to fragment rocks (by microwave radiation) or to sepaarate minerral particless
(tribolelectriically). The ppublication ooutput resultiing from theese activities in the reporting period is excellent,,
amounting to more thaan 60 publiccations. Almost 50 of thhem are origginal paperss in SCI listted journals,,
amongst them some “hhigh-impact” publications in, e.g., Naature Scientiffic Reports, JJournal of thhe Americann
Chemical SSociety or Addvanced Funnctional Mateerials. It is wworth mentionning that witth this publiccation recordd
we contribuute almost 155% of the tottal annual SSCI publicatioon output at the Montanuuniversität. Inn addition too
the written output, far mmore than 100 presentaations were delivered at scientific coonferences, and severall
awards werre granted to young scienntist from thee institute.
Modern ressearch requires money, the acquisition of reseaarch funds becoming inccreasingly coompetitive inn
particular inn the basic sscience discciplines. In thhis light I amm very proudd that severaal multi-annuual researchh
projects witth at least one project-financed scieentific coworkker and a tootal budget oof more thann one Millionn
Euro could be executed at the instituute, with two new projects starting witthin the repoorting period.In addition --
besides sevveral smallerr (e.g. ÖAD)) projects – almost two full months of measuremment time att large scalee
facilities foor e.g. syncchrotron- annd neutron radiation wwere grantedd to institutte memberss within ann
internationaally competitiive peer review process.. Just to expplain the signnificance of tthis success: a companyy
conducting proprietary rresearch would have to ppay around 10.000 Eurofor each beeamtime day,, and hence,,
this would aamount to ann equivalencee of more thaan half a Million Euro of ffunding.
The personnnel situationn of the institute is moree or less staable at arounnd 20 staff, with roughlyy half of thee
scientific cooworkers beinng financed ffrom projectss. After moree than one yeear with onlyy three faculty assistants,,
we are veryy happy to bee back to fouur assistantss since Octobber 2013. Thhis was absoolutely necesssary in vieww
of the continuously incrreasing number of freshmen studentts at our university, whicch continuess to shift thee
duties of the faculty sstaff towards teaching at the expense of ressearch. Thee high teachhing load iss
demonstrateed for instannce by the inccrease of thee number of teaching classses by morree than 20% and the totall
number of eexams by almmost 50% since the last reporting peeriod. It will ccertainly becoome increasingly difficultt
to keep thee right balancce between teaching annd research in the future. Nonethelesss, I see it aas my majorr
responsibilitty to facilitatee both, high--quality educcation and cuutting-edge rresearch at tthe Institute of Physics. II
really hope that the futture science political devvelopments in Austria wwill enable us to further stick to thiss
Humboldt’s “Unity of Reesearch and TTeaching” prrinciple.
The progreess and achievements ccompiled in this bi-annuual report 200012-2013
would not have been possible without highlyy motivated coworkers aand many
cooperationn partners froom all over tthe world. I aam very gratteful to all mmembers of
the institutee for their enngagement aand to you aas partners and promoteers for the
continuous support. I hoope you enjoy reading thrrough this reeport and keeep in touch
with the Insttitute of Physsics.
