个人简介
Antonio Urbina (born 1967 in Madrid, Spain) graduated in Physics (1991) at Universidad Complutense de Madrid and finished his PhD thesis in Physics (1996) at Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid ICMM-CSIC. He has been postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Engineering of the University of Cambridge, UK, visiting associated professor at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Wisconsin (Madison, USA) and visiting researcher at the Centre for Environmental Policy (6 months, 2008-2009) Imperial College, most recently he stayed as sabatical researcher at the Department of Physics, Imperial College London, UK (20 months, 2010-2012), position which is continued as visiting researcher (until September 2015). He has been member of the subcomitte 1 of the Scientific Council of Institute Laue Langevin for four years (2015-2018) and since 2018 to date is member of the Scientific Committee of ISIS-RAL (spallation neutron source) in FAP-5 molecular spectroscopy.
Antonio Urbina has worked in experimental studies of electronic transport processes. He began his work studying quantum conductance in III-V quantum well heterostructures measuring the Quantum Hall Effect and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in environments of high magnetic fields and low temperatures (12T and 1.5K). More recently, he has studied the transport properties of carbon nanostructures (carbon nanotubes and fullerene derivatives, where quantum transport was detected at room temperature) and conjugated polymers. The techniques for characterization of materials has been extended to Surface Force Microscopy, developing measurement techniques which allows us to relate the nanostructure of the materials with their macroscopic electronic properties, specially Kelvin Probe Microscopy.
Now he is devoted to the study of new organic electronic devices based in bulk heterojunctions of conjugated polymers, fullerene derivatives and nanoparticles/nanorods percolative networks. These blends have been studied with the aim of developing efficient organic photovoltaic devices. Also thin films, solutions and suspensions of such materials have been studied by neutron scattering techniques, where quasielastic and small angle scattering measurements give useful information aimed to understand the self-assembly and nanostructuration processes produced during the fabrication procedures of organic devices from solution. Neutron reflectometry has allowed us to investigate the vertical segregation of PCBM within the active layer of solar cells. Recent modelling of photogeneration processes and charge transport have been performed including the effects of magnetic fields.
He has great interest in the application of photovoltaic technologies to sustainable rural electrification projects in developing countries. His research group has also published several Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and economical assessment studies of photovoltaic systems (silicon, thin film and organic technologies). Optimization of photovoltaic system design, including load management in order to extend battery lifetime and long term sustainability, has been a current issue of research in recent years, with a special focus on rural electrification. He has also worked on experimental studies about degradation of solar cells, with contribution to the definition of the ISOS standards for testing degradation of organic and hybrid solar cells.
