Photophysics and optoelectronics of metal halide perovskites and other unconventional semiconductors

Metal Halide perovskites possess a unique set of properties, from the high absorption coefficient, the tunable bandgap and the high mobility to long range diffusion length. Impressive performances in photovoltaic applications, light-emitting diodes, lasers and photodetectors have shown the potential of this solution processable semiconductors for future applications. Despite these outstanding properties, as their investigation started relatively recently, a lot more effort is needed to promo...

Pensare una comunità danzante. Le arti del corpo come strumenti per lo sviluppo, la coesione e l’emersione delle risorse culturali

In accordance with the objectives of the theme-bound research project (PON FSC 2015-2017 Axis "Human Capital" of the Fund for Development and Cohesion, Internal Areas/Marginalized Areas) endorsed and hosted by the Municipality of Belvì (Nu), the thesis develops the topics and practices that have guided the research path, conducted as immersive action-research with a qualitative-ethnographic approach. By traversing phenomenological-existential philosophical thought (E. Husserl, M. Heidegger, M...

Mechanochemical transformations: Bridging the gap between global and local kinetics ​

Deeply rooted in metallurgy and materials science, mechanochemistry is presently one of the most rapidly growing research subjects in chemistry. Mechanochemical reactions are generally performed in ball mills, where the powders are subjected to forging events during individual collisions. Precisely the complex milling dynamics make the investigation of the reaction kinetics on a local scale extremely challenging. The thesis endeavours to gain insight into the local kinetics from macroscopic e...

A landscape approach for detecting and assessing changes in areas prone to desertification by means of remote sensing and gis.

L'opera narrativa di Melania G. Mazzucco: le forme dell'impegno

This research project focuses on the work of the contemporary Italian writer Melania Mazzucco. While memory, the role of women and social criticism are the most studied themes in her works, the main thread running through our research is the concept of commitment. This is a new critical perspective, in which impegno constitutes a kind of 'macro-category' encompassing all the many themes in the writer's output that have been analysed by critics. Mazzucco's commitment, which is evident in his l...

The international dimensions of central bank objectives

The main conceptual object of this study is the ‘’objectives of central banks’’ and their position and relation to the various core characteristics of central banks, inter alia, central bank governance, mandates, functions, central bank cooperation. The core research hypothesis is that the objectives of central banks are formulated and shaped by both domestic and international developments. The research consists of two parts: Part I (general part: chapters 1 and 2) and Part II (case studies: ...

Autonomia privata e dati personali: dal consenso al contratto per il trattamento

The research analyzes the powers of private autonomy operating within the personal data processing framework and their applications in the emerging personal data market sector. After reconstructing personal data as informational signs that are the subject of the right to personal data protection, understood as a right with a primarily existential nature, the paper examines the main institutes of Reg. (EU) 679/2016 where it notes the data subject's power of decision with respect to the process...

Design, synthesis and characterization of novel building blocks for supramolecular assemblies.

The study of supramolecular systems, held together by non-covalent interactions, started with the design of novel building blocks. The target donors were then prepared by means of organic synthesis and characterized by analytical tools. Pyridyl-based ligands have been designed with various shapes, rigidity, lengths and number of donor atoms. The project was carried over by reacting the organic linkers with various complementary building blocks. When metal ions and unsaturated metal complexes ...
