  • A Portrait University of Basel. 02 Evolution of Our University
    A portrait University of Basel. 02 Evolution of our University. Founded in 1460, the University of Basel is proud to be Switzerland’s oldest university. Still, today’s institution is very different to that of 1460. Over the centuries, it has evolved to become a regionally integrated, internationally respected research university with an extensive curriculum that enjoys an excellent position within the Life Sciences and other disciplines. Expanding its leading position Well-respected rankings attest to the University of Basel’s outstanding academic performance. However, the uni- versity needs to further consolidate and extend its leading position. Key in achieving this goal is the university’s Strategy 2014. With a frame stretching as far as 2021, the strategy identifies untapped potential and defines deve- lopment prospects, thus laying the foundations to position our institution firmly for the future. The relationship between academia and society has changed profoundly in the past. Today, the university has a res- ponsibility to more societal stakeholders in industry, culture, media and politics than ever before. Strategy 2014 outlines the University of Basel’s response to this change: a stronger focus on society’s expectations, and an increasing align- ment with the Anglo-Saxon model. Basel is not alone in its evolving sense of self. All modern universities consider themselves as brands – in the way the academic community views itself and, equally, in the way it is viewed by the outside world. 03 The best talent for Basel At the University of Basel, we offer our own individual answer to the changes in the global university landscape.

    Fall 2016 Joint Colloquium Materials Department & Materials Research Laboratory Dr. Audrius Alkauskas Center for Physical Sciences and Technology Vilnius, Lithuania Friday, October 28th, 2016 11:00 am, ESB 1001 Defects in solids: agents of broken symmetry In pristine semiconductors and insulators many electronic transitions are either forbidden or very weak because of selection rules imposed by the high symmetry of the solid. In many ways point defects (impurities, vacancies, interstitials, and various complexes) can be thought of systems with broken symmetry where formerly forbidden transitions become allowed. Depending on the application of the material, these new transitions can be either beneficial, neutral, or detrimental. The example of beneficial properties are defects that are currently investigated in view of their application in quantum information processing and nano-metrology. The example of detrimental properties are defects that serve as nonradiative recombination centers in optoelectronic devices. In both cases, defects affect the properties of materials dramatically. Over the past decade computational techniques to study defects in solids have finally reached the level where a direct comparison with experiment can be made. Moreover, these techniques can provide the microscopic understanding that can complement and guide the experimental work. In this talk an overview of some of the author’s recent work on the electronic structure of point defects will be given. In the beneficial domain (defects for quantum information processing and nano-metrology), electron- phonon coupling in nitrogen-vacancy and silicon-vacancy centers in diamond will be discussed. In the detrimental domain, nonradiative transitions at defects in group-III nitrides will be analysed and the implications of these findings for efficiencies of nitride light-emitting diodes will be highlighted.
