Klaus Stallberg (B6) is awarded dissertation-prize at TU Clausthal

Congratulations to Dr. Klaus Stallberg, who recently joined project B6 (Höfer/Wallauer) as a postdoc, for being awarded a dissertation-prize.

Congratulations to Dr. Klaus Stallberg, who recently joined project B6 as a postdoc, for being awarded a prize for his excellent dissertation at TU Clausthal on “Spectromicroscopic investigations of thin porphyrin layers and their influence on plasmonic excitations in silver structures by multi-photon-photoemission”.

In his thesis Klaus Stallberg investigated thin porphyrin films and plasmonic silver structures with multi-photon photoemission electronmicroscopy (nP-PEEM). Based on energy-resolved, time-resolved and laterally resolved nPPE experiments he porposed a model for the complex electronic excitation and relaxation processes in porphyrin films and was able to show how a thin porphyrin layer affects the dispersion of plasmons propagating on an extended silver island.

For these investigations he received one of three prizes (Förderpreis 1000 EUR) of the Friends of TU Clausthal (Verein von Freunden der Technischen Universität Clausthal e.V.).

Since July 2017 Klaus Stallberg explores the dynamics of charge transfer processes at interfaces of organic heterostructures by means of time-resolved two-photon photoemission in the framework of project B6 (Höfer/Wallauer).
