Jonsson International Exchange Fellowships at Linköping University in Sweden
In an effort to initiate collaborations in Nanoscience, Photonics and related fields between the University of Washington (UW) and Linköping University (LiU) in Sweden, we have initiated new fellowships for international research experiences at Linköping University, Sweden. Since this program is funded by a generous donation by Lars Jonsson, we will call these "Jonsson International Exchange Fellowships", and any resulting publications or presentations should acknowledge Lars Jonsson. The fellowships will fund the salaries and travel expenses for UW graduate students and postdocs to go to Linköping University for one or more quarters to do research with a professor there in nanoscience, photonics or related fields. Ideally these would be done in a way that the UW professor here also will get involved, so that it can serve to seed-fund longer-term collaborations between UW professors and LiU researchers.
Applications require the usual forms and letters for the Graduate Student Awards in Nanotechnology (see above), plus a letter of agreement from the proposed host researcher at LiU that he/she is willing to host this student or postdoc for the proposed project. Thus, the first step in developing an application will be for students (or their research advisors) here to contact a researcher there. See list of potential hosts at LiU below.
While postdocs may apply, higher priority will be given to graduate students. Professors may apply for travel expenses for collaborations.
Students and postdocs at LiU will similarly be applying for fellowships to come here to UW in such exchanges, so please try to cultivate collaborations with the groups listed below
List of Participating Groups at
Linköping University in Sweden
List of research groups at Linköping University from their Departments of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) and Nanoscience (CeNano) who wish to host exchange students from UW. (This is just a suggested list. Other groups may also be appropriate.)
Center of Organic Electronics, The Centre is active in: organic nanoelectronics, printed organic electronics, and organic optoelectronics, all utilizing organic polymers and molecules for creating electronic functions. COE spans from polymer synthesis to electronic design via theory, spectroscopy and device physics.
- Prof. Olle Inganäs
- PhD Fengling Zhang
Organic Physics Group, ITN We study the interdependence of materials properties and how they affect the functionality of the material in organic electronics, nanostructures via selfassembly of organic molecules, and organic spintronics applications. Our focus is mainly on synchrotron radiation based research, but we also develop materials through CVD and PVD techniques and build simple test devices. UPS, XPS, Synchrotron Radiation Spectroscopies (in close cooperation with W. R. Salaneck, IFM).
- Assoc. Prof. Mats Fahlman Department of Science and Technology Campus Norrköping
Chemistry, The research is mainly focused on bio-chemistry and organic chemistry but research is also carried out within physical chemistry, organic analytical chemistry, and inorganic chemistry
- Prof. Peter Konradsson
- Ass. Prof. Per-Olov Käll
- Ass. Prof. Lars Ojamäe
- Ass. Prof. Stefan Svensson
- Researcher Peter Lindström
Theory and Modelling, The research activities in the computational physics group at Linköping University are focused on computations and simulations of electronic and optical properties of molecular and polymeric materials.
- Prof. Igor Abrikosov
- Prof. Sven Stafström
- Ass Prof Patrik Norman
- Ass Prof Peter Munger
- Ass. Prof. M. Boman
Materials Science, The research activities focus on novel semiconductors and cover a broad spectrum from basic research (which dominates) to projects of an applied character, partly in direct cooperation with industry.
- Prof. Bo Monemar
- Prof. Per-Olof Holtz
- Prof. Wei-Min Chen
- Ass Prof N T Son
- Ass Prof J P Bergman
- Ass Prof P Paskov
Thin Film Physics, The aim of the research is to increase the fundamental understanding of vapor phase growth and reactions in thin films on an atomistic level, and to explore physical properties of structures unique to thin solid films.
- Assoc. Prof. Jens Birch
- Prof. Lars Hultman
- Assoc. Prof. Valeriu Chirita
- Ass. Prof. Hans Högberg
Plasma and Coatings Physics, The research concerns investigations of methods for growth of thin films (using sputtering techniques), as well as development of coatings for various applications.
Surface and Semiconductor Physics,
- Prof. Göran Hansson
- Prof. Wei-Xin Ni
Center of Nano Science and Nano Technology (CeNano), CeNano is an organisation within Linköping University which acts for coordination, exposure, and strengthening of the research in nano science and nano technology at LiU. It also acts as an initial contact point for external collaborators in the field.
Please contact Program Operation Specialist Mack Carter for further information. Application packages are available online during spring quarter each year.
