Funded Activity Summary

Atomic Structure and Stability of Nanocrystal Facets. This project aims to provide a ‘toolkit’ to understand and grow nanocrystal shapes to achieve desired optical properties. The facets of a metal nanocrystal comprise just a few atoms, which are pivotal to its growth and properties. This project aims to develop methods to measure the location and stability of these atoms to understand the factors controlling their assembly and to understand their impact on the properties of the nanocrystal. It plans to correlate atomic structure and corresponding optical excitations with unprecedented spatial and energy resolution. Combining these advances, the project aims to relate nanofacet chemistry, structure, stability and optical excitations to deliver a new understanding of optical properties and their control.
