The UL Faculty of Science and Technology was represented at the conference by several scientists and their co-authors from UL’s collaboration partners. A leading researcher of the Institute of Chemical Physics, Dr. Gunta Kunakova presented a poster titled “Topologically non-trivial WTe₂ nanoscale materials: growth and magnetotransport”, showcasing unique UL-synthesized materials with outstanding quantum properties.
Professor Vyacheslavs Kashcheyevs gave a presentation on the analysis of electron liquid droplet collisions, a topic recently covered in a joint publication by UL and the Néel Institute in France, published in Nature.
Significant contributions to the research were made by UL doctoral students Jeļena Sušinska, Agnese Spustaka, Āris Jansons, and Elīna Pavlovska.
Dr. Niels Ubbelohde from the National Metrology Institute of Germany (PTB) presented joint PTB – UL research on precise electron tunneling models, developed within the AQuanTEC and ElQuRes projects. This presentation, titled “Universal scaling of adiabatic tunneling out of a shallow confinement potential”, which also included results from Dr. Austris Akmentinsh doctoral thesis, won the Best poster award. In total, 5 out of 127 poster presentations in the quantum nanoelectronics phenomena and devices section were awarded.
