Ultra-stable nanoparticles of (CdSe)n and their unique properties
02 Aug 2012 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Atsuo Kasuya
Nanoparticles exhibit unique materials functions not realizable in the bulk solid, leading useful practical applications. Recent progresses in synthesis show possibility of producing them down to 1 nm comparable to molecular sizes in different geometrical structures. In such nano-structures, the …

Learning with nanoHUB
01 Aug 2012 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Quincy Leon Williams
Interactive media is the most valuable tool for engaging the younger generations of students and future researchers. Since, few instructors have the skills required to incorporate such new technology into their existing curricula, we developed a short seminar designed to bridge the gap between …

3D and 2D Metamaterials at Infrared Optical Frequencies
24 Jun 2012 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Igal Brener, Mohammad Mayy, Amanda Harding
Metamaterials (MM) provide for new ways of manipulating light and achieving complex functionality due to the ability to control the spatial distribution of the permittivity and permeability. This full functionality usually requires complex 3D assemblies of subwavelength resonators that are very …

Organic-Inorganic Hybrids for Energy & Environmental Applications
07 Feb 2012 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Emmanuel P. Giannelis
In recent years, "storm clouds" have been forming at the interface of energy resources, environment, and climate change that demand concerted action by scientists, engineers, and policy makers. In this talk I will present a new materials platform based on organic-inorganic hybrids that provides …

Taming Light and Electrons with Metamaterials
11 Jul 2011 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Nader Engheta
In recent years, in my group we have been working on various aspects of metamaterials and plasmonic nano-optics. We have introduced and been developing the concept of "metatronics", i.e. metamaterial-inspired optical nanocircuitry, in which the three fields of "electronics", "photonics" and …
