The story of Academic Publishing: from Galileo to Nature

I was invited to give a seminar at the conference of young Italian researchers. At this conference I will present a talk on the story of academic publishing. I will briflely present the story of academic publising, from the first journals to the modern publication system, passing through open access, impact factor, etc… I show… Read More
Theory of phonon-assisted luminescence

In this presentation I present the theory of phonon-assisted luminescence, in terms of non-equilibrium Green’s functions and time-dependent perturbation theory. We derived a simple formule for light emission in the limit of low excited carriers including excitonic effects and then included coupling with phonons by time-dependent perturbation theory. This approach is then applied to the… Read More
