|
| Our group develops new chemical, physical, engineering,
and biological applications related to nanostructured materials.
Our research is focused on the following four topics: |
| Self-Assembled Photonic Crystals and Colloidal
Plasmonics |
| Photonic crystals and colloidal plasmonics offer unprecedented
opportunities for the realization of all-optical integrated
circuits and optical chips. Our group is developing colloidal
self-assembly approaches to control, manipulate, and amplify
light on the sub-wavelength scale. We focus on the fundamental
understanding and development of the spin-coating technique
to achieve functional nano-optical devices. |
| |
| Electrokinetic Separation and Micro-Analysis
of Bio-Macromolecules |
| Microfabricated devices for separating biomolecules like
DNA or protein are important for future integrated bioanalysis
systems. Our group is exploring a non-lithographic approach
to make new nanofluidic devices with hierarchical pore systems
for practical production and integration of micro total bioanalysis
systems (m-TAS). We are also interested in developing a galvanic-cell-based
microchip technique for the enrichment and separation of trace
biomaterials such as cells. |
| |
| Nanocrystalline for Ultra-High Density Magnetic
and Optical Recording |
| Self-organizing ferromagnetic nanocrystallines are promising
for ultra-high density magnetic recording materials. Our group
is exploring new synthetic and assembly approaches to produce
sub-10-nm ferromagnetic nanocrystals and wafer-scale thin-film
nanocomposites to target terabits per square inch areal density.
We are also interested in developing synthetic strategies
for ternary chalcogenide optical recording materials. |
| |
| Self-Healing Materials |
| Self-healing materials are of great technological importance
in reducing material failure and maintenance cost. We are
developing bio-mimetic self-healing systems associated with
galvanic (bimetallic) and pitting corrosion. We utilize an
in-situ, spontaneous corrosion electric field to deliver repairing
agents to defect sites. |
