- Description:
- SPEAKER: Antonios G. Kanaras
Lecturer, School of Physics and Astronomy,University of Southampton, UK
TITLE: "Colloidal Nanoparticles for Applications in Physical and
Biomedical Sciences"
DATE: Wednesday 28 July 2010
TIME: 12:00
ROOM: Seminar Room 1, FORTH
Abstract
Colloidal nanocrystals are employed in several fields of science ranging
from biology and medicine and the development of new diagnostic methods,
drug delivery, and imaging, to physics and engineering and the
fabrication of novel devices for energy conversion and storage. The
major reason for the vast range of applications of colloidal
nanocrystals is the ability to easily tune the density of their
electronic states, which allows the control of their magnetic, optical,
electrical, catalytic and mechanical properties, characteristic for
different materials. The control over the properties of these
nanocrystals can be achieved by chemically adjusting their size, shape,
and composition as well as by carefully selecting the organic molecules
to coat their surface.
In this presentation I will discuss general strategies to control the
morphology and functionality of colloidal nanocrystals and I will show
our recent developments producing strategically engineered nanocrystals
and using them in biomedical and physicochemical applications.
