Students' seminar

The MPGC students`seminar is mandatory for MPGC students.

During the seminar students present in a common way the latest results of their interdisciplinary research and talk to each other. These presentations offer excellent opportunities for feedback on scientific results and presentation techniques and for informal discussions and networking.
Winter 2021/2022
Regular MPGC students' seminars in the winter term 2021/2022 will take place Wednesday at 4pm as online seminar

Quantum impurities within cold Bose gases

Date: Jan 26, 2022
Speaker: Martin Will

The interaction between a gas of ultra-cold bosonic atoms and a single Impurity is a prominent example of the interplay between few and many body physics. The impurity will deform the Bose gas locally, which can be described as the formation of a new quasiparticle, the Bose polaron. I will give a short overview about some of our recent findings on the properties of the polaron. [more]

Elemental composition of the Amazonian aerosol coarse mode – Contrasting rain forest background vs. African dust and marine aerosol influenced states

Date: Jan 26, 2022
Speaker: Leslie Kremper

The Amazonian aerosol coarse mode in a size range between 1 – 10 µm, plays an important role for the rain forest biogeochemical and hydrological cycling as well as for its ecology. Based on manifold aerosol sources, the coarse particles show highly complex and diverse particle mixtures, what needs to be understood in more detail. Therefore, we use a broad spectrum of complementary techniques, including energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, to characterize the elemental composition and mixing state of single aerosol particles and can finally create a comprehensive overview of the forest background aerosol population.
