Research
Interests:
Quantum properties of
molecular nanostructures and the exploitation of such properties for
formulating new nanomaterials with uses in molecular
photonic devices (MPDs) and/or chemical sensors. Small groupings of molecules
(principally, in our case, so-called molecular aggregates) serve as the active
agents. For MPDs the same types of photonic/optoelectronic applications as
systems derived from epitaxially prepared inorganic
semiconductor superlattices or conjugated organic
polymers are anticipated. For chemical sensor applications, the aim is to form
robust and highly manipulable new nanomaterials
with unique spectral properties for analyses purposes.
Research conducted, more
generally, involves: (1) syntheses of semiconductor and magnetic oxide
nanoparticles and nanorods within mesoporous
aluminosilicates and silicates; (2) fabrication of
carbon nanotubes within various matrices; (3) spectroscopic and dynamical
investigations of spontaneous and nonlinear laser Raman scattering by monomeric
and aggregated molecules on metallic, semiconductor, vesicles surfaces and
encapsulated within mesoporous materials; (4) excited
state dynamics and determination of photophysical
parameters for cyanine dyes and donor-acceptor systems that involve electron-transfer
reactions; (5) Raman investigations of porphyrins in
solution or adsorbed onto surfaces; (6) spectroscopic studies of biological
tissues and herbs; and (7) quantum chemical calculations of porphyrins
and dye molecules.
