Colloidal Self-Assembly: Particle Synthesis, Functionalisation and Applications
(2019-04-27)Colloids, broadly defined as particles small enough to not sediment under gravitational force while dispersed in a continuous medium, are of great scientific and industrial importance. They are present in foods, cosmetics, ... -
Photon-mediated entanglement of electron spins in a dynamic solid-state environment
(2017-07-21)Self-assembled quantum dots can act as an interface between single spins and photons. They combine the flexibility and scalability of semiconductor systems with near-perfect two level systems, emitting highly coherent ... -
Functional nanoelectronic devices: single-electron transport, memristivity, and thermoelectricity in nanoscale flms using self-assembly and graphene
(2019-04-27)This dissertation reports on several experimental projects studying electronic transport in thin-flm electronic devices. Self-assembly methods and graphene were used to realise devices contacting films of self-assembled ...
