Nanocrystals and optical spectorscopy:
- Shape-controlled synthesis nanocrystals (mainly metal and semiconductors) by wet-chemistry approaches.
- Self-assembly of nanocrystals into ordered architectures by various self-assembly techniques.
- Characterization of nanocrystals and their self-assemblies by optical and morphological characterizations.
- Modifying surface chemistry of nanocrystals for biocompatibility.
- Development of biosensors based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).
- Development of nanocrystal-based therapeutics.
- Single-particle scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy of metal and semiconductor nanocrystals.
- Time-resolved photoluminescence and absorption spectroscopy.
- Nanocrystals synthesis in an inert atmosphere.
