Symposium NM05-Colloidal Nanoparticles—From Synthesis to Applications
Colloidal Nanoparticles with controlled size, shape, and composition are now a ubiquitous building block within the nanoscience and nanoengineering communities. Ordered assemblies of colloidal nanoparticles, or so-called artificial photonic crystals or ‘metamaterials’, exhibit collective electronic, magnetic and optical behaviors for applications in nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. Successful integration of colloidal nanoparticles into engineered battery eletrodess, durable films, paints, and inks requires fundamental understanding to achieve surface functionality, reproducible long-range order, and mechanical robustness and patternability. Fundamental issues related to size, shape, core/shell structure, surface chemistry, etc critically determine the property and applications of colloidal nanoparticle and their assemblies. To address these issues, this symposium will cover the general topics of colloidal nanoparticle synthesis, functionalization, characterizations, and applications. the nanoparticles will focus on metallic (eg Au, Ag, etc) and semiconductor (CdSe, PbS, etc) nanoaprticles. Specifically, this symposium will cover (1) fundamental synthetic and functionalization strategies to manipulate size, shape, core/shell structure, surface chemistry to achieve enhanced function and property. (2) In-situ characterizations of nanoparticle growth, assembly, and interaction, and (3) integration for nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and bioimaging and biosensing applications. (4) Theory modeling and computational understanding of nanoparticle interface, interaction, etc.
Topics will include:
- Nanoparticle surface chemistry/functionalization to manipulate particle interactions, packing symmetry, external framework, and property
- New synthetic processes and integration methods of nanoparticles and nanowires
- Large area of nanoparticle assembly and patterning with long range order
- Crystal growth and characterizations
- In-situ observation and characterizations of nanoparticle nucleation and growth
- In-situ characterizations of nanoparticle (only) self-/directed-assembly (GISAXS, TEM, SEM, etc)
- Advanced spectroscopy and transport studies on electronic and magnetic structure, carrier dynamics, charge/energy transfers, and photonic behavior of nanoparticles/nanowires and their assemblies
- Simulation and computation of nanoparticle interactions.
