Structure/Dynamics/Properties/Applications of Hard and Soft Condensed Matter

Hard Condensed Matter

[1]

Nanomaterials – Nanoscience – Nanotechnology

Developing rational bottom-up synthetic routes (wet chemistry and CVD) for the controlled growth of 1-D nanostructures based mainly on ZnO and more complex heterostructures i.e. metal oxide-core/metal chalcogenide-sheath nanowires for:

Energy conversion (optimizing the anode and cathode active materials for dyesensitized solar cells; improving the anode nanostructures of photo-electrochemical devices for H₂ evolution; piezoelectric nanogenerators for mechanical to electrical energy conversion.
Photocatalytic applications (defect and morphology engineering of nanocrystals for waste-water treatment; advancing large-scale immobilized photocatalysts for real-life applications).
Gas sensors (synthesis of heterostructures of nanostructures with various morphologies to achieve high sensitivity/selectivity and device operation at room temperature for dangerous gasses, such as CO).
Nanophotonics (optimizing the morphology of nanowire arrays for realizing SERS substrates; enhancing random lasing activity; control luminesce properties; antireflection performance, etc.).

Fabrication of high-quality graphene-based hybrid nanomaterials from metal carbides and organic compounds at ambient conditions using novel laser-assisted methodologies for:

(i) Production of graphene-coated SiC particles for enhancing the mechanical properties of Kevlar fabric to achieve better anti-ballistic and anti-stab properties (ii) Ultra-low resistance reduced-GO by laser irradiation at ambient conditions.

(iii) Plasmonic structures (new activity)

(iv) Energy storage devices (nc-Si-decorated graphene structures for Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors) (new activity)

(v) Membranes for gas separation (new activity)

CVD and PVD growth of 2-D few-layer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDCh) crystals

Direct PVD growth of 2-D TMDCh crystals on TM foils for catalytic applications (counter electrodes of DSSCs)
CVD growth of vertical heterostructures (alternating stacks of different 2-D materials with improved electrical and optical properties)
Combinatorial growth of 1-D and 2-D materials in core-sheath structures for visible light photo-electrochemical cells (water splitting, etc.)
Nanoscale engineering 2-D crystals for tribological applications.

Structure and dynamics of the fluids and crystals confined in nanopores
Fabrication and characterization of low-dimensional nanoparticles by laser ablation

[2]

Glasses and Glass transition

Studies of structure and dynamics of a wide range of non-crystalline solids
- host of experimental techniques (all kinds of light scattering; synchrotron radiation, surface sensitive techniques) are employed, including structural probes and optical spectroscopies to study dynamics and collective phenomena in glasses, supercooled liquids and melts of halide, oxide, and chalcogenide glasses (fragility, Boson peak, quasi–elastic scattering, vibrational relaxation, pressure induced changes in glasses,

Raman amplifiers, bioactive glasses, etc.)

Photoinduced phenomena in amorphous semiconductors
- number of photoinduced structural changes in chalcogenide materials are explored using structure-probing techniques to better understand chalcogenide glasses (athermal photoplastic phenomena, phase-change materials).

Soft Condensed Matter

Biological materials: dynamic light scattering methodologies for early diagnosis of eye diseases, light scattering from eye lens and crystalline (protein) solutions/gels, protein aggregation, cold cataract.
Thermo-reversible Aggregation phenomena: living polymerization in elemental chalcogens, rounding effects in second-order-type phase transitions, aggregation in enamel proteins (amelogenins).
Sol-gel transition: self-assembly of silicate solutions towards the development novel ceramics for bio-interface engineering.
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT): Dispersion and stabilization of SWCNTs in aqueous media for biological applications (drug delivery).

Development of new techniques

In collaboration with T. Scopigno (Rome, La Sapienza) have demonstrated the construction and feasibility of a laboratory prototype for infra-red photon correlation technique using a laser emitting at 1064nm. The technique gave satisfactory results in densely colored samples (chalcogenides), while it has prospects to be upgraded and used for particle sizing in opaque suspensions of agglomerated engineered nanoparticles of industrial interest.
Have established a non-invasive methodology, based on Dynamic Light Scattering, for non-invasive and reliable early diagnosis of eye diseases, e.g. lens cataract (research activity funded through the project title: Light scattering methodologies for non-invasive early diagnosis of ocular diseases).
Have participated in research activities (Project title: Early Diagnosis: New Diagnostic Equipment for Biomedical Applications, 1994-1997) for the development of a biomedical instrument capable of accurately determining the size and the shape of non-spherical particles with applications to the deformability of red-blood cells.
