description: Die Studie im Auftrag der EKKJ zeigt: Junge Menschen in der Schweiz sind in vielen verschiedenen Formen politisch aktiv. Ihre Motivationsgründe für politische Mitwirkung sind ebenfalls mannigfaltig und abhängig vom Thema, von persönlichem Interesse und Betroffenheit. Oft reicht etwa ein «Moment des Anstosses» oder die Ermutigung durch eine Bezugsperson als Motivation für ein erstes Engagement. Strukturelle Faktoren wie die Sprache, der sozioökonomische Status und der Bildungsstand der Eltern, aber auch persönliche, wie sich rasch ändernde Lebensumstände oder die Angst vor Mobbing, erweisen sich als Einflussfaktoren.

Verbesserungspotential sehen die Jugendlichen vor allem bei einer Stärkung der politischen Bildung, beim Abbau von Zugangsbarrieren zu bestehenden Angeboten und bei der Schaffung von Lernräumen für die politische Partizipation. Die Jugendlichen wünschen sich eine stärkere politische Bildung in der Schule, die nicht nur Wissen, sondern auch Kompetenzen vermitteln soll, die für eine aktive politische Rolle aus ihrer Sicht nötig sind. Für das Üben dieser Kompetenzen brauchen sie sichere Lernräume und Mitwirkungsmöglichkeiten, in denen (Noch-)Nicht-Wissen und Meinungsvielfalt akzeptiert werden und in denen sie Erfahrungen sammeln können.

Unser Verständnis von Politik und politischem Handeln beeinflusst, ob wir die Jugend als politisch aktiv wahrnehmen. Die von der EKKJ in Auftrag gegebene Studie geht von einem weit gefassten Verständnis von politischer Partizipation aus und umfasst explizit auch nicht-institutionelle Beteiligungsformen und digitale Formate, die allen Jugendlichen offenstehen, auch jenen ohne Stimm- und Wahlrecht. Dazu gehören Klassenräte und Jugendparlamente, partizipative Projekte zum Bau eines Veloweges, ein Kulturfestival zum Thema Rassismus oder ein Austausch mit Personen aus der lokalen Politik, aber auch Meinungsbildung im Freundeskreis, bewusster Konsum, Demonstrationen oder Unterschriftensammlungen.

description: Orientational dependence of the IR absorbing amide bands of silk is demonstrated from two orthogonal longitudinal and transverse microtome slices with a thickness of only ~100 nm. Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) which preferentially probes orientation perpendicular to the sample's surface was used. Spatial resolution of the silk-epoxy boundary was ~100 nm resolution, while the spectra were collected by a ~10 nm tip. Ratio of the absorbance of the amide-II C-N at 1512 cm-1 and amide-I C=O β-sheets at 1628 cm-11 showed sensitivity of SNOM to the molecular orientation. SNOM characterisation is complimentary to the far-field absorbance which is sensitive to the in-plane polarisation. Volumes with cross sections smaller than 100 nm can be characterised for molecular orientation. A method of absorbance measurements at four angles of the slice cut orientation, which is equivalent to the four polarisation angles absorbance measurement, is proposed.

description: 3D meso scale structures that can reach up to centimeters in overall size but retain micro- or nano-features, proved to be promising in various science fields ranging from micro-mechanical metamaterials to photonics and bio-medical scaffolds. In this work, we present synchronization of the linear and galvanometric scanners for efficient femtosecond 3D optical printing of objects at the meso-scale (from sub-μm to sub-cm spanning five orders of magnitude). In such configuration, the linear stages provide stitch-free structuring at nearly limitless (up to tens-of-cm) working area, while galvo-scanners allow achieving translation velocities in the range of mm/s-cm/s without sacrificing nano-scale positioning accuracy and preserving the undistorted shape of the final print. The principle behind this approach is demonstrated, proving its inherent advantages in comparison to separate use of only linear stages or scanners. The printing rate is calculated in terms of voxels/s, showcasing the capability to maintain an optimal feature size while increasing throughput. Full capabilities of this approach are demonstrated by fabricating structures that reach millimeters in size but still retain sub-μm features: Scaffolds for cell growth, microlenses, and photonic crystals. All this is combined into a benchmark structure: A meso-butterfly. Provided results show that synchronization of two scan modes is crucial for the end goal of industrial-scale implementation of this technology and makes the laser printing well aligned with similar approaches in nanofabrication by electron and ion beams.

description: Thermo-optical properties of the nanodisc and metal hole array plasmonic perfect absorber (PPA) metasurfaces were designed and characterized at mid-infrared wavelengths. Both, radiation emitter and detector systems operating in various spectral domains are highly sought after for a diverse range of applications, one example being future sensor networks employed in the internet-of-things. Reciprocity of the absorbance and emittance is shown experimentally, i.e., the PPAs are demonstrated to follow Kirchhoff’s law where the patterns exhibiting a strong optical absorption were found to be effective thermal emitters. Hence, the Kirchhoff’s law is experimentally validated for the metasurfaces in the IR spectral domain where there is a lack of solutions for spectrally narrow-band emitters. The highest efficiency of radiation-to-heat and heat-to-radiation conversion was obtained for Au-Si-Au composite structures.

description: We develop an open source software “GDoeSII” for the simulation of Fresnel (near field) and Fraunhofer (far field) diffraction integrals of diffractive optical elements (DOE). It can compute the intensity distributions at a desired plane from the DOE. This software can also convert the phase profiles of the DOEs from standard image formats such as JPG and PNG to lithography graphic format GDSII for fabrication purposes. The conversion algorithm used in this program groups adjacent same-valued pixels and creates a single cell rather than creating a cell for each and every pixel in the image file. This results in a faster and smaller output GDSII file size. Conversion to the multi-layer GDSII format is also possible for grayscale lithography. We show, as an example, the simulation, GDSII conversion, fabrication and experimental results for the case of an Airy beam generator. GDoeSII offers a complete platform for researchers working in diffractive optics from simulations to lithography file preparation.

description: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has attracted increasing interest for chemical and biochemical sensing. Several studies have shown that SERS intensities are significantly increased when an optical interference substrate composed of a dielectric spacer and a reflector is used as a supporting substrate. However, the origin of this additional enhancement has not been systematically studied. In this paper, high sensitivity SERS substrates composed of self-assembled core-satellite nanostructures and silica-coated silicon interference layers have been developed. Their SERS enhancement is shown to be a function of the thickness of silica spacer on a more reflective silicon substrate. Finite difference time domain modeling is presented to show that the SERS enhancement is due to a spacer contribution via a sign change of the reflection coefficients at the interfaces. The magnitude of the local-field enhancement is defined by the interference of light reflected from the silica-air and silica-silicon interfaces, which constructively added at the hot spots providing a possibility to maximize intensity in the nanogaps between the self-assembled nanoparticles by changing the thickness of silica layer. The core-satellite assemblies on a 135 nm silica-coated silicon substrate exhibit a SERS activity of approximately 13 times higher than the glass substrate.

description: Polarised light imaging microscopy, with the addition of a liquid crystal (LC) phase retarder, was used to determine the birefringence of silk fibres with high (∼1 μm) spatial resolution. The measurement was carried out with the silk fibres (the optical slow axis) and the slow axis of the LC-retarder set at parallel angles. The direct fit of the transmission data allowed for high fidelity determination of the birefringence Δn ≈ 1.63 × 10−2 (with ∼2% uncertainty) of the brown silk fibre, (Antheraea pernyi) averaged over the wavelength range λ = (425–625) nm. By measuring retardance at four separate wavelengths, it was possible to determine the true value of the birefringence of a thicker sample when an optical path may include a large number of wavelengths. The numerical procedures and required hardware are described for the do-it-yourself assembly of the imaging polariscope at a fractional budget compared to commercial units.

description: We introduce optically clear and resilient free-form micro-optical components of pure (non-photosensitized) organic-inorganic SZ2080 material made by femtosecond 3D laser lithography (3DLL). This is advantageous for rapid printing of 3D micro-/nano-optics, including their integration directly onto optical fibers. A systematic study of the fabrication peculiarities and quality of resultant structures is performed. Comparison of microlens resiliency to continuous wave (CW) and femtosecond pulsed exposure is determined. Experimental results prove that pure SZ2080 is ~20 fold more resistant to high irradiance as compared with standard lithographic material (SU8) and can sustain up to 1.91 GW/cm2 intensity. 3DLL is a promising manufacturing approach for high-intensity micro-optics for emerging fields in astro-photonics and atto-second pulse generation. Additionally, pyrolysis is employed to homogeneously shrink structures up to 40% by removing organic SZ2080 constituents. This opens a promising route towards downscaling photonic lattices and the creation of mechanically robust glass-ceramic microstructures.

description: Simultaneous emission of the THz wave and hard X-ray from thin water free-flow was induced by the irradiation of tightly-focused femtosecond laser pulses (35 fs, 800 nm, 500 Hz) in air. Intensity measurements of the THz wave and X-ray were carried out at the same time with time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) based on electro-optic sampling with a ZnTe(110) crystal and a Geiger counter, respectively. Intensity profiles of the THz wave and X-ray emission as a function of the solution flow position along the incident laser axis at the laser focus show that the profile width of the THz wave is broader than that of the X-ray. Furthermore, the profiles of the THz wave measured in reflection and transmission directions show different features and indicate that THz wave emission is, under single-pulse excitation, induced mainly in laser-induced plasma on the water flow surface. Under double-pulse excitation with a time separation of 4.6 ns, 5–10 times enhancements of THz wave emission were observed. Such dual light sources can be used to characterise materials, as well as to reveal the sequence of material modifications under intense laser pulses.

description: A thermocouple of Au-Ni with only 2.5-μm-wide electrodes on a 30-nm-thick Si3N4 membrane was fabricated by a simple low-resolution electron beam lithography and lift off procedure. The thermocouple is shown to be sensitive to heat generated by laser as well as an electron beam. Nano-thin membrane was used to reach a high spatial resolution of energy deposition and to realise a heat source of sub-1 μm diameter. This was achieved due to a limited generation of secondary electrons, which increase a lateral energy deposition. A low thermal capacitance of the fabricated devices is useful for the real time monitoring of small and fast temperature changes, e.g., due to convection, and can be detected through an optical and mechanical barrier of the nano-thin membrane. Temperature changes up to ~2 × 105 K/s can be measured at 10 kHz rate. A simultaneous down-sizing of both, the heat detector and heat source strongly required for creation of thermal microscopy is demonstrated. Peculiarities of Seebeck constant (thermopower) dependence on electron injection into thermocouple are discussed. Modeling of thermal flows on a nano-membrane with presence of a micro-thermocouple was carried out to compare with experimentally measured temporal response.

description: Three dimensional (3D) fast (< 0.5 hour) printing of micro-optical elements down to sub-wavelength resolution over 100 μm footprint areas using femtosecond (fs-)laser oscillator is presented. Using sub-1 nJ pulse energies, optical vortex generators made of polymerised grating segments with an azimuthally changing orientation have been fabricated in SZ2080 resist; width of polymerised rods was ∼ 150 nm and period 0.6-1 μm. Detailed phase retardance analysis was carried out manually with Berek compensator (under a white light illumination) and using an equivalent principle by an automated Abrio implementation at 546 nm. Direct experimental measurements of retardance was required since the period of the grating was comparable (or larger) than the wavelength of visible light. By gold sputtering, transmissive optical vortex generators were turned into reflective ones with augmented retardance, Δn × h defined by the form birefringence, Δn, and the height h = 2d where d is the thickness of the polymerised structure. Retardance reached 315 nm as measured with Berek compensator at visible wavelengths. Birefringent phase delays of π (or λ/2 in wavelength) required for high purity vortex generators can be made based on the proposed approach. Optical vortex generators for telecom wavelengths with sub-wavelength patterns of azimuthally oriented gratings are amenable by direct laser polymerisation.

description: To address the emerging threat of climate change, consumers must transition to sustainable transportation. The electrification of the transport sector through e-mobility poses new challenges and uncertainties for grid operators. Without efficient prior measures, grid development problems will inevitably arise, causing a need for costly grid expansions. To ensure a technically and economically successful transition to electric vehicles, grid operators need modern, digital tools that enable the investigation of a variety of future scenarios. At present, these tools only exist in a simulation environment, where multiple assumptions are made to obtain feasible results. This poses a high risk, as operators must design and maintain distribution grids in advance and based on clear-cut scenarios.

description: Nowadays, optical tweezers have undergone explosive developments in accordance with a great progress of lasers. In the last decade, a breakthrough brought optical tweezers into the nano-world, overcoming the diffraction limit. This is called plasmonic optical tweezers (POT). POT are powerful tools used to manipulate nanomaterials. However, POT has several practical issues that need to be overcome. First, it is rather difficult to fabricate plasmonic nanogap structures regularly and rapidly at low cost. Second, in many cases, POT suffers from thermal effects (Marangoni convection and thermophoresis). Here, we propose an alternative approach using a nano-structured material that can enhance the optical force and be applied to optical tweezers. This material is metal-free black silicon (MFBS), the plasma etched nano-textured Si. We demonstrate that MFBS-based optical tweezers can efficiently manipulate small particles by trapping and binding. The advantages of MFBS-based optical tweezers are: (1) simple fabrication with high uniformity over wafer-sized areas, (2) free from thermal effects detrimental for trapping, (3) switchable trapping between one and two - dimensions, (4) tight trapping because of no detrimental thermal forces. This is the NON-PLASMONIC optical tweezers.

description: The dependability of the power infrastructure is ensured by established testing practices. However, these practices do not address new stability phenomena or issues arising from cyber-physical interactions through increasingly digitalized control technologies. With the above-described challenges and developments, the complexity of test planning and scoping is vastly increased. The proposed framework focuses on facilitating complex cyber-physical system tests. This work has been developed by a group of researchers, members of the IEA TCP ISGAN - SIRFN, as part of their efforts to enhance the close collaboration among international test facilities and identifies potential activities for future application and standardization of Smart Grid. In this context, the contributions from the members are acknowledged. The Power System Testing task is a technical project of the IEA TCP ISGAN – SIRFN to facilitate and accelerate the roll-out of renewables and the digital transformation of critical cyber-physical power system infrastructure.

description: Two-color side-view probing of light-matter interaction from minute focal volume of a tightly focused fs-laser pump pulse reveals charge dynamics with high 0.9 μm optical resolution and approximately ~45fs temporal resolution defined by pulse duration. Use of two colors is advantageous for probing optically excited plasma regions with different density. Holographical digital focusing and spatial filtering were implemented to obtain the same resolution images for subsequent Fourier analysis. Fast plasma density decay with time constant ~150 fs was resolved and is consistent with self-Trapping. Potential applications of an optical control over light-induced defects with deep-sub-wavelength resolution is discussed.

description: Octahedral anatase particles (OAPs), prepared by ultrasonication-hydrothermal reaction (US-HT), were modified with 2 wt% of gold by photodeposition. Conditions of US-HT process such as durations of US and durations of HT were varied to obtain OAPs products different by physicochemical and morphological properties. Au/OAPs samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalytic activity was tested under UV irradiation for decomposition of acetic acid (CO2 system) and dehydrogenation of methanol (H2 system) under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively, and for oxidation of 2-propanol under visible light irradiation. Photodeposition of gold was very fast for all OAPs samples (0.5–10 min) under Ar atmosphere, and the clear correlation between the content of electron traps (ETs) and the induction period, during which nanoparticles (NPs) of gold are formed, indicates that ETs in titania samples are a key-factor for rapidity of gold photodeposition on titania surface. It was found that better morphology of titania (larger content of faceted particles) resulted in formation of larger gold NPs, while small gold NPs were deposited on structural defects. Modification of OAPs with gold NPs resulted in significant enhancement of photocatalytic activity, being e.g., 1.5 (CO2 system), 7.7 (H2 system), and even more than 40 under vis irradiation. It was found that both the properties of titania and gold are crucial for resultant photocatalytic activity, but a direct correlation between one structural/physical property and photocatalytic activity could not be obtained since all structural properties changed simultaneously when conditions of photocatalyst preparation (US-HT) were changed. Therefore, gold NPs of controlled sizes were deposited on OAPs product with the best morphology by modified photodeposition method. Clear correlation between photocatalytic activity under visible light and the size of gold NPs indicates that gold properties are decisive for visible light activity rather than titania properties. 3D-FDTD simulations confirm that an increase in the size of gold NPs results in extended surface areas with field enhancement.

description: A new tool providing material contrast control in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is demonstrated. The approach is based on deep-UV illumination during SEM imaging and delivers a novel material based contrast as well as higher resolution due to the photoelectric effect. Electrons liberated from illuminated sample surface contribute to the imaging which can be carried out at a faster acquisition rate, provide material selective contrast, reduce distortions caused by surface charging, and can substitute metal coating in SEM. These features provide high fidelity SEM imaging and are expected to significantly improve the performance of electron beam instruments as well as to open new opportunities for imaging and characterization of materials at the nanoscale.

description: Silk patterns in a film of amorphous water-soluble fibroin are created by tailored exposure to femtosecond-laser pulses (1030 nm/230 fs) without the use of photoinitiators. This shows that amorphous silk can be used as a negative tone photoresist. It is also shown that water insoluble crystalline silk films can be precisely ablated from a glass substrate achieving the patterns of crystalline silk gratings on a glass substrate. Bio-compatible/degradable silk can be laser structured to achieve conformational transformations as demonstrated by infrared spectroscopy.

description: The creation of anti-reflective surfaces is reliant on the engineering of the surface textures and patterns to enable efficient trapping or transmission of light. Here we demonstrate anti-reflective layers composed of hierarchical nano/microscale features that are prepared on Si using a combination of wet and dry etching processes, and which are both scalable and affordable. The performance of the structured surfaces was tested through optical measurements of the reflectance, transmittance, and scattering spectra from the visible to mid-infrared wavelength regions, and the results were verified using numerical simulations to identify the performance of the textured anti-reflective layers. The anti-reflective properties of the layers were shown to be dramatically improved by the composite nanostructured surfaces over a broad spectral range, which thus provides a basis for the design rules that are essential for the progress towards effective anti-reflector fabrication. At normal incidence, the hierarchical surfaces achieve reflectances that are 10-80 times lower than that of conventional single-etch nano-microstructures. Portions of the absorbed, transmitted, scattered, and reflected light in the visible-IR spectrum are presented to illustrate the results.

description: Was ist eine Pflegefamilie? Was muss sie leisten, wie und wo soll sie sein und leben, wie darf sie auf keinen Fall sein? Welche Assoziationen und Bilder entstehen bei Fachpersonen, Kindern in Pflegefamilien und anderen Pflegefamilienmitgliedern und in unserer Gesellschaft, wenn von "der Pflegefamilie" die Rede ist? Und welche Bedeutung haben haben diese Bilder für die Vorbereitung, die Vermittlung und die Begleitung in der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Fachpersonen und Pflegefamilien? Welche Herausforderungen ergeben sich daraus für das System Pflegekinderhilfe und die verschiedenen Akteure und Akteurinnen? Diesen Fragen geht eine aktuelle Studie der ZHAW Soziale Arbeit in einem seit März 2021 laufenden, vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds finanzierten und auf drei Jahre angelegten Projekt nach.

Ziel des Projektes ist es, einen Zugang zu tiefer liegenden Überzeugungen in der Pflegekinderhilfe sowie gesellschaftlichen Bildern zu erarbeiten, die auf die Pflegekinderhilfe als System und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Fachpersonen und Pflegefamilien einwirken. Auf dieser Basis können Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten und-grenzen der Pflegekinderhilfe in der Praxis fundiert diskutiert und Reflexionsflächen für Fachpersonen geschaffen werden.

description: The current state of the art in direct water splitting in photo-electrochemical cells (PECs) is presented together with: (i) a case study of water splitting using a simple solar cell with the most efficient water splitting electrodes and (ii) a detailed mechanism analysis. Detailed analysis of energy balance and efficiency of solar hydrogen production are presented. The role of hydrogen peroxide formation as an intermediate in oxygen evolution reaction is newly revealed and explains why an oxygen evolution is not taking place at the thermodynamically expected 1.23 V potential. Mechanism of cascading oxidation of water molecules via the peroxide stage is proposed and conforms with experimental observation.Solar hydrogen production with electrical-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 52% is demonstrated using a simple ∼0.7%-efficient n-Si/Ni Schottky solar cell connected to a water electrolysis cell. This case study shows that separation of the processes of solar harvesting and electrolysis avoids photo-electrode corrosion and utilizes optimal electrodes for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions and achieves ∼10% efficiency in light-to-hydrogen conversion with a standard 18% efficient household roof Si-solar cells. Strategy to increase efficiency above 15% for a single junction cell is outlined.

description: Precious metal alloys enables new possibilities to tailor materials for specific optical functions. Here we present a systematic study of the effects of a nanoscale alloying on the permittivity of Au-Ag-Cu metals at 38 different atomic mixing ratios. The permittivity was measured and analyzed numerically by applying the Drude model. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the face centered cubic lattice of the alloys. Both, optical spectra and XRD results point towards an equivalent composition-dependent electron scattering behavior. Correlation between the fundamental structural parameters of alloys and the resulting optical properties is elucidated. Plasmonic properties of the Au-Ag-Cu alloy nanoparticles were investigated by numerical simulations. Guidelines for designing plasmonic response of nano- structures and their patterns are presented from the material science perspective.
