Research Interests
Colloidal semiconductor (quantum dots) and metal
nanocrystals.
Using the colloidal chemistry
approaches we synthesize semiconductor and metal
nanorystals of variable sizes, shapes and
compositions, tuning the emission of semiconductor
nanocrystals and surface plasmon resonances of metal
nanoparticles through the visible and near-IR
spectral range.
Colloidal nanocrystals, with their variable surface chemistry determined by a rich choice of capping ligands are ideal building blocks for
fabrication of different hybrid nanostructures. We
apply optical spectroscopy to study energy transfer
and charge separation in these nanostructures and
look for different applications of semiconductor and
metal nanocrystals such as light-emitting devices and photodetectors.
