ENW klein Grant for Maxim Pchenitchnikov and Thomas Jansen

Maxim Pchenitchnikov (Optical Condensed Matter Physics group) and Thomas Jansen (Theory of Condensed Matter group) were awarded a Dutch Research Council (NWO) grant for the proposal entitled “Self-assembly pathways of an artificial light harvesting complex”. The aim of the project is to study how thousands and thousands of molecules organize themselves into highly-ordered functional structures without external guidance. The key to elucidating self-assembly intermediate stages and their kinetics is to confront the spectroscopic data with those predicted theoretical calculations.
