04/30 - Time: 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

Physics Department Seminar

Dr. Marc Achermann of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst will speak about his research in nanotechnology. 

Advances in producing nanoscale materials have resulted in a wealth of novel nanomaterials with unprecedented optical and electronic properties. Dr. Achermann will give an overview of his recent work on semiconductor, metal, and hybrid semiconductor-metal nanostructures. Using time-resolved optical spectroscopy he will demonstrate that nanoscale engineering allows us to modify and control basic interactions that affect carrier and energy relaxation and transfer processes. Such processes are of fundamental importance in many photonic materials and electro-optical devices including optical sensors and light emitting and photovoltaic devices.
