Abstract :
RF-sensors and Radar systems found their way into civil and industrial applications decades ago. Since then, they reliably measure distances, velocities, and filling levels etc. contact free and with great accuracy. Lately, current trends and technological achievements pushed operating frequencies up to the millimeter wave range, which allows for the determination of various additional physical quantities. Consequently, these novel sensors can be utilized in numerous areas of process industry, civil protection, and daily life. Therefore, their main purpose will be the determination and investigation of environmental parameters that allow for the supervision of crucial system parameters and the interpretation of complex processes. The talk will give an overview on diverse RF‐sensors for different applications, which were explored at the Ruhr‐University Bochum within recent years. The presented sensor applications include: humanitarian demining, mmWave imaging, contact‐free gas sensing, as well as dust and particle determination for process industry and natural hazard protection. Next to the introduction of the numerous areas of application, the different sensor designs will be explained and their field applicability verified. Moreover, opportunities regarding student exchanges between Ruhr-University and Lille University will be introduced and discussed.

Abstract :
Innovative Colloidal Nanostructures: Nanoplatelets and III-V Quantum Dots
Colloidal Quantum Dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals in the 1 to 10 nm size range synthesized by wet chemistry process. Because of these small sizes, QDs are subject to quantum-size effect. This effect leads to discrete transitions, much like in an atom or a molecule, with energies higher than the bulk and that are strongly dependent of the QDs sizes. This property has allowed QDs to emerge as a novel class of optoelectronic materials over the last 25 years. The most advanced application of colloidal QDs, at least from a research valorization perspective, is their commercial use in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). First launched in 2013, sales of QDs-enhanced LCDs are expected to achieve 18 million units in 2018.
a. Vials containing QDs of different sizes under UV light. The emitted color depends of the QDs sizes. b. Commercial QDs display (http://www.samsung.com/global/tv/).
Significant advances have been made in the synthesis of QDs since the beginning of the 1990s. The shape of the nanoparticles can now be finely controlled, and nanoparticles with various shapes have been synthesized. In particular, colloidal nanoplatelets are atomically flat nanostructures that present only one dimension of quantum confinement.1In this lecture, I first present how the nanoplateletssizeand composition can be perfectly controlled via inventive synthesis protocols and how theseparameters affects the nanoplatelets optical properties.(2–4)
To facilitate the use of nanocrystals in the industry, interest is shifting from the well-characterized cadmium-based QDs to cadmium-free alternatives such as indium phosphide. We recently proposed protocols based onaminophosphine-type precursors that allow for a cost efficient, up-scaled syntheses of indium phosphide(InP) QDs of different sizes.(5) A detailed understanding of the reaction chemistry is a key in the development of colloidal QDs synthesis. I present an investigation of chemical reactions leading to the formation of InP starting from aminophosphine-type precursors.(6) This mechanism is innovative in the sense that it points out a double role of the phosphorus precursor in the reaction as both a reducing agent and the source of the phosphorus needed to form InP. Its understanding furthers the general use of aminopnictogens for the
synthesis of III-V QDs.(7) Finally, I show that InP QDs can be processed in polymer layer and that their structure can be optimized in order to obtain more efficient and cheaper lighting devices.(8)

Abstract :
Recent advances in addressing and controlling the spin states of a surface-supported object (atom or molecule) have further accredited the prospect of quantum computing and of an ultimate data-storage capacity [1]. Information encoding requires that the object must possess stable magnetic states, in particular magnetic anisotropy to yield distinct spin-dependent states in the absence of a magnetic field together with long magnetic relaxation times. Scanning probe techniques have shown that inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) within the junction of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a good starting point to study the stability of these spin states [2]. STM-IETS allows for an all-electrical characterization of these states by promoting and detecting spin-flip excitations within the object of interest. As spin excitations need however to be preserved from scattering events with itinerant electrons, single objects are usually placed on non-metallic surfaces such as thin-insulating layers or superconductors. In this sense, new approaches to improve the detection of spin-flip excitations are desirable. With this purpose we present here a novel strategy based on the molecular functionalization of a STM tip. We study the surface magnetism of a simple doubledecker molecule, nickelocene [Ni(C5H5)2], which is adsorbed directly on a copper surface. By means of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and density functional theory calculations, we show that nickelocene on the surface is magnetic (Spin = 1) and possesses a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, while IETS reveals an exceptionally efficient spin-flip excitation occurring in the molecule [3]. Interestingly, nickelocene preserves its magnetic moment and magnetic anisotropy not only on the surface, but also in different metallic environments. Taking advantage of this robustness, we are able to functionalize the STM tip with a nickelocene [3,4], which can then be employed as a portable source of inelastic excitations. As we will show during the talk, IETS can then be used to probe the interaction between a surface-supported object and the nickelocene tip, including a magnetic interaction.

Les technologies de stockage de l’énergie sont au cœur d’un enjeu mondial considérable. L’avenir de beaucoup d’innovations est lié à d’importants progrès dans les capacités de stockage compact et de recharges rapide des batteries (l’automobile et toutes les autres formes de mobilité, jusqu’au smartphone notamment). Les grandes énergies alternatives (éolien et solaire), n’étant pas continue, leur efficacité dans les réseaux futurs est également liée à l’amélioration du stockage de l’électricité. Quant au monde gigantesque des objets connectés qui se prépare, il est très consommateur de batteries miniaturisées à très longue durée de vie sans rechargement. Si aujourd’hui le lithium est le matériau phare, avec de multiples combinaisons, d’autres matériaux et des technologies alternatives comme la pile à combustible progressent rapidement. Voyage au cœur d’une compétition mondiale allant de la recherche avancée sur l’efficacité des batteries et leur recyclage à l’accès aux matériaux et débouchant sur une bataille industrielle mondiale dominée aujourd’hui par l’Asie.

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 will bring a massive change to the way we live and work in the near future. Fueled by the adaption of novel key-enabling technologies, common objects, tools, machinery, and even garments, will be augmented with sensing, processing, and wireless communication/localization capabilities. The pervasive integration of such a smart common objects into the internet will improve our awareness of our surroundings and physical conditions, thereby helping us to make better decisions. However, the far-reaching integration scenarios, the ever-increasing demand for higher data rates and the harsh and hostile IoT/Industry 4.0 environment make antenna design for IoT-applications substantially more challenging.
In this seminar, I will discuss a new class of high-performance low-cost antenna systems for the 5G wireless communication protocol and the Internet of Things. In particular, the substrate integrated waveguide technology is adopted to implement cavity-backed slot antenna topologies in conventional and unconventional substrate materials. Owing to their extreme antenna-platform isolation, very stable antenna characteristics are obtained in challenging deployment conditions and with active transceiver and energy harvesting electronics directly integrated on the antenna platform. In addition, it will be shown that broadband operation can be obtained by diverse bandwidth enhancement techniques, whereas miniaturization can be obtained by relying on mode symmetries. Their potential will be demonstrated by presenting several broadband designs for smart floors, on-body applications and centimeter-precision localization applications. The seminar will be concluded by discussing the co-design procedure of a passive remote antenna unit for RoF communication and the realization of a compact, wideband and cost-effective mmWave antenna.
Short bio: Sam Lemey [S’14–M’16] (Sam.Lemey@ugent.be) received the M.Sc. degree in electronic engineering from Howest, University College West Flanders, Kortrijk, Belgium, in 2012 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, in 2016. He is currently working as a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Electromagnetics Group in the Department of Information Technology (INTEC) at Ghent University. His research focuses on robust antenna systems for wearable applications, energy-harvesting techniques for wireless nodes, active antenna design for the Internet of Things and 5G applications, IR-UWB antenna systems for centimeter-precision localization, novel techniques to implement substrate integrated waveguide structures in innovative materials, and full-wave/circuit co-optimization frameworks to realize active antenna systems.
