We are interested in chemical routes to creating nanostructured materials and manipulating their surface chemistries. Our work requires skills in synthesis and characterization of these materials. We commonly use electron and optical microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, surface spectroscopy, and diffraction techniques to characterize the composition and form of the nanostructures. Students also develop skills in micro- and nanofabrication to direct the assembly of nanostructures, to pattern nanostructured materials, to fabricate device structures, and to measure physical properties of these nanostructures.
