Objective
Colloidal nanocrystals (ncs) are attractive building blocks to new materials with tuneable chemical and physical properties and with enhanced technological added value. Nanocrystals with controlled shape and composition, which represent an even newer generation of materials, increase the functionality of the particles by combining together different properties (optical, magnetic, electrical) in a single object (multi-modal capability). To deepen our fundamental understanding of the control of these systems it is necessary to develop reliable synthetic routes to these hybrid ncs.
This will be possible through a synergy of novel synthetic approaches, advanced tools of structural analysis and theoretical methods that model the growth and physical behavior of ncs. These hybrid ncs will exhibit novel functionalities arising from the properties of the individual components and from their interactions. In addition, organic molecules will be selectively linked to well-defined regions of each nanoscale motif and then used to create ordered assemblies. These materials will play a central role in many technological areas, which will employ the knowledge gained in this program, with clear impact for the future of nanotechnology in Europe.
Since the techniques and methodologies proposed herein include a high degree of innovation, their adoption and exploitation by industry will demand new job openings, a particular favourable issue for less-favoured geopolitical regions of EU, such as Greece. It is apparent that the synthesis and characterization of these hybrid nanostructures requires a combination of advanced, multidisciplinary methods and technologies, some of which have been independently developed in European Laboratories. The project aims to transfer the required know-how from carefully selected partners to the host Institute in an effort to advance its present stage of limited research activity in an otherwise thriving internationally technological field.
