Congratulations to Sandro Wieser for being awarded a PhD scholarschip of the Austrian Academy of Sciences #ÖAW entitled: "Understanding heat transport in metal-organic frameworks in real and reciprocal space"; tugraz.at/projekte/pmw/n…

Thrilled to share our paper on tracking hidden chirality in tripodal honeycomb architectures on Ag published in ACS Nano. An exciting collab between research groups in 4 countries! #MichaelZharnikov Egbert Zojer Fumitaka Ishiwari #takanorifukushima #manfredbuck pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our latest work in onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… we realized a built-in electric field by LBL MOF synthesis scheme. Key to this is the dipole alignment, by avoiding the center-symmetry trap. awesome collaboration Egbert Zojer SURMOF Papers braeselab Stefan Hecht

Pi-stacking alone might not be sufficient ... sometimes the right one needs some extra control to maximize the effect ...

Through-space charge transport in MOFs is increasingly attracting attention. This new JPC Letters article shows that to improve that transport the most promising strategies are not necessarily the most obvious ones. Egbert Zojer fal.cn/3hbPu

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to work with phantastic colleagues on the modelling of the electronic and optical properties of MOFs - at TU Graz in the beautyful city of Graz (in Europe's most F&E active region). euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/674611

Dispersion-corrected density functional theory is used to study structure-to-property relations for the anisotropic elastic constants of variants of MOF-74. Egbert Zojer fal.cn/3jnN9

Potentially interesting for anyone interested in phonons and especially in phonons in organic semiconductors ... pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Today seems to be the day for MOF-related journal front covers from Graz ... here one from JPCC for our paper dealing with the elastic properties of MOFs (where I am unfortunately too incompetent to link it properly - so you need to click) pubs.acs.org/toc/jpccck/125…

In case you want to know, why the thermal expansion of MOF-74 is so small, you might take a look at onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Sometimes molecular monolayers display unexpected switching processes ... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… In case you have a stronger explanation for the observed effect than the tentative one we propose, please let us know!

Self-assembled monolayers are ideal candidates for changing interface properties - and systems with polar groups embedded in the backbone display very special properties, as reviewed in: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Heat transport in metal-organic frameworks is a highly complex process - in mdpi.com/2079-4991/12/1… Sandro aims at developing first structure-to-property relationships.

We still have several open PhD positions as part of our lead project on porous materials: tugraz.at/projekte/pmw/h… you can find their description at: pmws-open-positions.tugraz.at/open_call_proj…

In case you are interested in modelling and measuring thermal transport in metal-organic frameworks in a highly dynamic environment, check out pmws-open-positions.tugraz.at/open_call_proj… project P10

Alternatively, if you want to model and measure anharmonic phonon properties of MOFs (which are, for example, relevant for thermal expansion and heat transport), you might want to take a look at: pmws-open-positions.tugraz.at/open_call_proj… project P11

In case you want to efficiently model really large systems, machine-learned potentials can help ... nature.com/articles/s4152…

If you want to see, how to predict spin-dependent phonon band structures of HKUST-1 with DFT and machine-learned interatomic potentials: 📷 mdpi.com/1422-0067/25/5… 📷

Collective electrostatics dominates the properties of conventional interfaces ... but it also controsl the potential of COF pores: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
