This project comprises of two complimentary components: 1.) the controlled synthesis of selectively engineered magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in support of the

Far-infrared Spectroscopy of Biomolecules (Archived)

Completed

Far-infrared (or terahertz/THz, ca. 25 to 300 micron wavelength) femtosecond pulsed laser and Fourier-transform infrared methods are employed to measure

Femtosecond Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy of Nanoscale Materials

Ongoing

Condensed matter dynamics can evolve on a subpicosecond timescale, too fast to follow using many characterization techniques. We use femtosecond optical pulses

Hydrogen Generation in Di-Iron Hydrogenase Mimics (Archived)

Completed

Discovery of novel materials to facilitate hydrogen gas production has prompted new avenues of research towards developing hydrogen as an alternative to fossil

Mapping of Thermal Properties at the Nanoscale

Ongoing

Precise measurements of thermal properties at the nanoscale are needed to engineer advanced and heterogeneously integrated devices, but measurements at this

PTIR combines the spatial resolution of AFM with the specificity of absorption spectroscopy

Nano-Chemical Imaging and -Spectroscopy (IR, nIR, VIS)

Ongoing

Conventional techniques for analyzing chemical composition, such as infrared (IR) microscopy often miss critically important nanoscale details. To overcome this

Optical and Optoelectronic Materials Characterization
