Brief Introduction
We are interested in the syntheses, characterizations and applications of single-crystalline nanowires. We developed unique synthetic method to grow single-crystalline noble metal nanowires and various metal compound nanowires (metal silicide, metal oxide). Noble metal nanowires are studied as plasmonic biosensor platform and nanoelectrode. Metal coumpound nanowires are investigated as various elelctronic devices such as next-generation memory devices based on spintronics. We are further developing heterogeneous nanoarchitectures based on nanowires and nanoplates that are expected to improve the performance of our nanomaterial-based devices.
Research topics
- Advanced plasmonic materials
- Medical nanobio technology employing noble metal nanowire
- Self-Assembled Monolayer (SAM) using 2-Dimensional gold nanostructure
