Welcome to Photoreactive materials lab
Developing luminescent noble metal nanodots
Water soluble luminescent noble metal nanodots were achieved only in the past decade. Being few-atom clusters of reduced metal atoms, their photophysical properties approach those of semiconductor quantum dots. These fluorophores offer high luminescence quantum yields, large molar extinctions, and excellent photostability. They have been applied as probes, photoluminescent materials, electroluminescent materials and biolabels. However, they are yet perfect. Critical improvements are required, especially for the biological application
Educational research: promoting nanoscience in school teaching
The “nanosize” of the substance is a key player in new fields. The surge of these new materials did not leave enough time for the scientific community to unite over the nomenclature of these particles on the nanoscale. We are trying to propose possible definitions of these particles based on their physical properties and current applications.
Opening available.
We are urgently recruiting two Ph.D students to conduct research on deciphering the structure of silver nanodots and their applications in the biological field.
We also have opening for undergraduate interns.
Interested applicants should email to Prof. Junhua Yu at junhua@snu.ac.kr or drop by his office at 12-518.
