Agenda

Seminar with Antonio Cassinese, Department of Physics, University of Naples Federico.

Meeting organized by prof. Giovanni Antonio Salvatore.

Abstract:

The talk will report activities concerning devices based on low dimensional materials of interest for different applications, underlining an interdisciplinary approach.
Concerning quantum applications, after a brief description on high Q microwave cavities and on organic and 2D, the speaker will describe activities concerning the charge transfer of N-type organic materials in contact with metals or 2D materials and the improved performances of devices based on 2D doped materials (MoS 2 , WS 2 ) as wells the realization of Van der Waals structures  based on MoS 2 doped with organic molecules. It will be shown that Van der Waals long range potential can influence the long range order of the molecular crystals creating a regular array of organic nanotubes.
The properties of 3D cavities (TESLA SHAPE) will be also discussed especially when coupled with dielectric resonators of interest for the creation of quantum sensors that present better performances compared to those existing in the literature. The last part of the talk will summarize some ongoing activities in Naples regarding the detection of biomolecules, through the use of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) and screen-printed electrodes (SPE), as well as the development of gloves with several pressure sensors of interest for  biological applications too.

Bio of the speaker
Antonio Cassinese is full Professor of Experimental Physics of Matter at the Department of Physics, University of Naples Federico II since 2020. He received his PhD in Physics
from the same University in 1996, spending a period as Associated Research at the CERN Laboratories . From 1997 to 1999 he was at the University of Wuppertal, Germany, under Marie Curie individual fellowship from . From 2002 to 2014, he was a permanent Researcher at the University of Naples Federico II. His scientific activity focus on the investigation of the electrical properties of superconductors, oxides, organic (polymer), and inorganic hybrids materials to understand physical fundamental aspects and possible practical applications in the electronic fields. He is author of more than 200 research publications in peer-reviewed journals. Currently, he is running a research group with activities related to the fabrication of 2D and organic materials for electronic devices and manipulation of spin with high Q microwave cavities for quantum sensing applications.
