Research Theme
We develop various metal and semiconductor nano-architectures using different physical and chemical methods for applications in organic solar cells, memory devices, and linear and non-linear optics.
Plasmonic-organic Hybrid Nanostructures
The nanoribbons of N,N′-Dioctyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide (PTCDI-C8) integrated with Au nanoparticles (NPs)
Surface Roughened Silver Wires
Surface roughened Ag wires were developed to spatially extend the plasmonic hotspots for SERS and nonlinear optical applications
Metal Nanostructures < 50 nm
Highly monodispersed metal nanostructures of size less than 50 nm were chemically synthesized for plasmonic organic solar cell, organic memory device, and nonlinear optical applications.
Metal Nanostructures > 50 nm
The plasmonic Ag nanowires were developed for plasmon assisted light propagation, and surface roughened nanospheres and wires were synthesized to utilize the plasmonic hotspots for surface enhanced Raman scattering applications.
2D Semiconductor Nanostructures
Mono/few layers of MoS2 and WS2 nanoflakes, and Au-WS2 nanohybrids were prepared for applications in photovoltaics and non-linear optics.
