UNIBO will participate in the project providing its competences in coordination and
management (leader of WP1) and in the experimental characterization of the photoelectrical
response, radiation hardness and behaviour of the materials and devices
that will be integrated in the i-FLEXIS system (leader of WP5). As for coordination and
management, dedicated personnel with yearly expertise will assist in this role. The
research activity will be carried out in WP2, where UNIBO will contribute providing
electrical and photo-response analyses of the novel organic single crystals grown with
dedicated chemical formulations, in WP3, with photo-response characterization of the
complete photonic sensor unit and in WP5 (coordinated by UNIBO) where the
stability, radiation hardness and lifetime of the materials and devices that take part in
the integrated i-FLEXIS system will be tested and assessed
The UNIBO research group participating in i-FLEXIS belong to the Department of
Physics and Astronomy. The Group has lead or participated to several European FP6
and FP7 (NANOPHOTO, FAST-IQ, RAINBOW), International (CINT, MAE, NATO) and
National (PRIN2006, PRIN2009, PRIN2011) research projects and has several industrial
cooperations presently active. The Group laboratories are equipped with the
necessary facilities for the optoelectronic characterization and X-ray radiation
response assessment of the materials and devices foreseen in i-FLEXIS. The group
presently consists of 7 members (2 permanent, 3 PhD students, 2 post-docs).
BEATRICE FRABONI graduated in Physics at the University of Bologna,
holds a Master in Microelectronics from the University of Cambridge
(U.K.), a Master in Science and Technology of Semiconductors from the
University of Parma and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of
Bologna. In 2000 she joined the Faculty of Physics at the University
where she presently is an Associate Professor in Condensed Matter Physics. Her research
activity focuses on the analysis and characterization of the electrical transport properties of
organic and inorganic semiconducting materials and of advanced electronic devices. She
published over 130 paper in international refereed journals, holds 7 international patents
and she is co‐founder of the Academic Start Up company "LabTrek" s.r.l.
DANIELA CAVALCOLI graduated in Physics at the University of Bologna, hold a Master in
Materials Science and Technology from the University of Parma, a Ph.D. in Physics from the
University of Bologna and since 1992 works at the Physics Dept of the University of Bologna,
where she is senior researcher. She coordinated the local section of Bologna in several
National Research projects in the field of light emission from nitride‐based materials, she
has been involved in two European Research Project in the photovoltaic field (FAST‐IQ,
NANOPHOTO) and in one project on nitride‐based heterostructures (RAINBOW). Her
research activity is related to the electrical and optoelectronic characterization of
semiconductor materials, devices and nanostructures. She has been expert evaluator for
the European Commission for calls relevant to NMP and ENERGY FP7‐ Programme and for
Regional Research Programs (FESR funding). She coauthored several papers in international
journals.
