Kleine Halbleiterstrukturen zeigen ähnliche Quanteneffekte wie einzelne Atome. Solche sogenannten Quantenpunkte nutzen Physiker der Universität Innsbruck, um paarweise Lichtteilchen zu produzieren. Das Team um Gregor Weihs kann so erstmals gezielt einzelne Photonenpaare erzeugen und auch direkt nachweisen.

Using a highly sensitive method of measurement, HZB physicists have managed to localize defects in amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells. Now, for the first time ever, using computer simulations at Paderborn University, the scientists were able to determine the defects' exact locations and assign them to certain structures within the interface between the amorphous and crystalline phases.
