The Eva Olsson research division is involved in the design and tailoring of materials to enable new sustainable solutions for energy harvesting, energy storage, energy consumption, catalysis, quantum technology and the use of soft matter in applications such as coatings for controlled drug release and solar cells. The function of the materials depends on the atomic structure where individual atoms play a role and also their exact position. We are using high spatial resolution imaging, spectroscopy and in situ techniques to quantitatively study the material structure (including techniques with high spatial precision in determining the position of atoms (1 pm), high energy resolution to determine electronic structure and high spatial precision in situ for electrical, mechanical, optical and thermal manipulation) and correlate the structure to properties.

May 2nd, 2022: Gustav Persson is defending his licentiate thesis "Correlating nanostructure and electronic properties of organic semiconductors by electron microscopy" today at 10:00 in PJ lecture hall at Chalmers University of Technology.
April 27th, 2022: The SOFT Microscopy Centre is organising a workshop on May 17th at Chalmers University of Technology. The theme of the workshop is image processing and image analysis. For more information, see SOFT Microscopy Network website. March 28th, 2022: Pierre Carmona, Eva Olsson and Niklas Lorén have published the paper “Structure formation and coarsening kinetics of phase-separated spin-coated ethylcellulose/hydroxypropylcellulose films” in Soft Matter. This paper describes the kinetics of film formation of a phase separated cellulose film for controlled drug delivery and brings more understanding on the mechanisms of phase separation responsible for the final film structure.
