Curriculum Vitae of Hans ZoggHans Zogg received his diploma and PhD in physics in 1970 and 1974, respectively, both from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zürich (ETHZ), Switzerland. After an industrial research position in material science, he joined AFIF (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Industrielle Forschung) at ETHZ in 1978 where he founded a group active on applied thin film research.
He was the first to grow IV-VI and CdTe epitaxial layers on Si-substrates with the use of IIa-fluoride buffer layers, and fabricated the first narrow gap infrared sensors on a Si-substrate in 1984. His current main interests are thin film epitaxial growth, material aspects of thin films, the physics and technology of infrared sensor arrays and lasers, thin film solar cells, and dislocation glide kinetics in IV-VI epitaxial layers. He is private lecturer at ETHZ since 1989, and leads a 15 person group on heteroepitaxy, infrared device applications, and solar cell research. He is author/coauthor of more than 220 publications, a few patents, and >25 PhD students finished or are working a thesis in his group up to now. All of the financing of the group is done by projects including funds from the Swiss government, the Swiss National Science Foundation, EU, and industry. |
