Plasmon-powered Nanochemistry
… nanostructures can play a crucial role in nanochemistry. It starts with an introduction to the fundamental plasmonic properties of metal nano-architectures, followed by various self-assembly strategies I explored to form controlled plasmonic aggregates. I then discuss in detail how these …

New Directions in Metal Chalcogenide Nanochemistry
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have shown great promise in functional devices such as solar cells and LEDs, but still relatively little is understood about the chemistry of their formation and resulting structure. In this thesis, we describe the results of our study of ultrathin Bi2S3 …

Semiconductor nanochemistry and hybrid polymer photovoltaics
The dissertation focuses on the synthesis, mechanism, and structural stability of semiconducting nanoparticles as well as on the development of new hybrid polymeric photovoltaic devices based on nanoparticle/polymer composites. A series of experiments was performed where highly monodisperse …

Assembly and functionalization of phage onto substrates patterned by dip-pen nanolithography
Advances in nanochemistry will drive the development of technologies at the scale of 1 - 100 nm. Principles of biology are used for the self-assembly of structures and devices at this scale. The Ml 13 bacteriophage, a virus employed in phage-display libraries, serves as a scaffold for nanoscale …

Refractory oxides based multilayered core@shell plasmonic nanostructures
… nanoscale thermodynamics that are fundamental to nanochemistry. <br/><br/>Despite the much research efforts of expanding plasmonic materials beyond the noble metals (gold, silver, copper, and aluminium) to include refractory materials such as metal nitrides, silides, germanides and many other …

Study of Immobilizing Cadmium Selenide Quantum Dots in Selected Polymers for Application in Peroxyoxalate Chemiluminescence Flow Injection Analysis
<p>Two batches of CdSe QDs with different sizes were synthesized for immobilizing in polyisoprene (PI), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The combinations of QDs and polymer substrates were evaluated for their analytical fit-for-use in applicable immunoassays. …
