Novel Synthesis of Nanocrystals
One focus of MRSEC research is novel ways of making nanocrystals.
We are pursuing new ways of synthesizing BaTiO3 particles
by colloidal (TEM figure 1) and hydrothermal methods, several types
of iron oxide particles by a variety of methods (gamma-Fe2O3,
figure 2), CeO2-y by room temperature liquid phase methods
(figure 3), and others, including NiSe, RbSe, TiO2, and
Mn-doped CdSe. The synthesis of the BaTiO3 and iron oxide
nancrystals were collaborations with Chris Murray of the IBM T.
J. Watson Research Center.

(BaTiO3, iron oxide), Siu-Wai Chan
(CeO2-y), and Dave Adams
(Mn-doped CdSe). |
