About this position

Work Activities Hybrid plasmonic-semiconductor nanoparticles combine strong light absorption in metals with longer- lived charge carriers in semiconductors, making efficient hot-electron injection across the metal- semiconductor interface key for applications such as photocatalysis. In this project, you will study and engineer the interface between gold nanorods and a TiO₂ shell. Crystalline TiO₂ improves charge- transfer efficiency, but the crystallization process can alter the gold core's shape and hence its optical response. Therefore, different crystallization pathways will be explored to
