Presentation Transcript

  1. The Korgel Group: Nano Brian A. Korgel korgel@che.utexas.edu • Funding from NSF, the Welch Foundation, NIH, DOE, DARPA, ONR, AFOSR, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and the Advanced Materials Research Center in collaboration with International SEMATECH for financial support

  2. Semiconductor nanowires: a product of chemistry 10 mm

  3. Semiconductor Nanowire Applications A New Materials Platform A new material for textiles applications, lithium ion batteries, photovoltaics

  4. Semiconductor Nanocrystal Inks for Photovoltaics Goal: Low cost high efficiency PVs

  5. NanoBio: Targeted imaging, photothermal therapy Photoinduced heating of CuSe nanocrystals Nanocrystals engineered with molecular recognition Luminescent biocompatible silicon nanocrystals

  6. Nanocrystals in Liposome (Vesicle) hosts Questions: will hydrophobic nanocrystals embed in the vesicle membrane without disrupting its structure? Is there a nanocrystal size limitation? (Membrane thickness is 3.7 nm) Cryo-TEM image of a PC liposome loaded with Au nanocrystals Image from: http://www.uzh.ch/onkwww/images/lipos4.gif
