Multimetallic hetero-nanostructures

Engineering matter at the nanoscale is crucial for many fields ranging from photonics and photovoltaics to thermo-electricity, or plasmonic. The nanometer is the natural length scale for phenomena that are important for engineering, like heat transport, light propagation, or current conduction. Nanoparticles have emerged as a crucial building block to control light, heat, or electrons at the nanoscale.
This PhD thesis subject is related to the development of new synthesis of Pd-based nanoparticles and their optical and structural characterization.
