Proceedings of nanoGe September Meeting 2017 (NFM17)
Publication date: 20th June 2016
Studies of the preparation and properties of colloidal crystals comprised of nanocrystals (NCs) of controlled composition, size, shape, and surface functionalization provides insight into the fundamental organization of matter on multiple lengths scales. In this talk, we will share progress in the preparation of extended 3D periodic superlattice films and discuss the design rules that direct the formation of quasicrystalline systems. These NC assemblies offer novel platforms exploration of the cross coupling of physical properties as the quantum confined electronic states of semiconductor NCs interact with the plasmonic resonances of co-assembled noble metals and with nanomagnets, leading to hybrid properties on the mesoscale. To date, the programming of NC assemblies (extended lattices and discrete superparticles) has largely leveraged control of NC size and shape in combination with relatively simple surface functionalization by surfactants for close NC coupling and has leveraged DNA and polymers for larger NC spacings. The design of ligands and surface passivation can direct the organization and optimize the interaction between NCs and impart patchy/direction functionalization is of particular interest. We will share our efforts design surface ligands using a wider range of supermolecular chemistry and develop dendrimer-based stabilizers. These dendrimer / NC hybrids allow precise geometric and chemical control of the superlattice assembly symmetry and lattice spacing that govern NC interactions.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
