Fluorescent silica nanoparticles possess excellent fluorescence brightness, photo-stability, flexibility in surface functionalization and biocompatibility. Fluorescent silica nanoparticles as a novel and biocompatible fluorescent material have …
Self-assembled organic monolayers are widely used as a bottom-up approach in nanofabrication and find potential applications in organic electronic devices, e.g., as photovoltaic cells, memory …
My dissertation works focus on supramolecular patterning of physisorbed self-assembled monolayers. The goal is to develop reliable molecular recognition strategies that direct sets of molecules …
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at the solid-liquid interface enables structural characterization of monolayers and affords insights into kinetic and thermodynamic influences on the self-assembly process. …
