Prof. Pandurang Ashrit (Université de MOncton)17/06/2014, 08:45Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)Invited Speaker / Conférencier invitéTransition metal oxides (TMO) with their metastable multiple oxidation states offer a wide range of optical and electrical switching properties. Chromogenic materials are characterized by their ability to undergo a reversible change in their optical properties under the application of a small external force in the form of heat, light or an electric field. Hence, TMO based chromogenic materials...Go to contribution page

Mr Renjie Liu (Lakehead University)17/06/2014, 09:15Surface Science / Science des surfaces (DSS)Oral (Student, Not in Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), pas dans la compétition)The functionalization of semiconductor surfaces with organic molecules is a necessary step in the development of hybrid organic-semiconductor structures. A significant challenge to organic layer formation is the fact that semiconducting surfaces exhibit a large number of dangling bonds which suppress the diffusivity of adsorbed molecules and can even break the molecules apart via the...Go to contribution page

Andrei Venter17/06/2014, 09:30Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)We demonstrate a facile and cost effective method to obtain gold nanoparticles on graphene by dispersing Au144 molecular nanoclusters by spin coating them in thin layers on graphene-based films and subsequent annealing in a controlled atmosphere. The graphene-based thin films used for these experiments are prepared by solvent-assisted exfoliation of graphite in water in the presence of...Go to contribution page

Oussama Moutanabbir (Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal)17/06/2014, 09:45Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)Invited Speaker / Conférencier invitéSemiconductor nanowires (NWs) are quasi-one-dimensional nanostructures that have sparked a surge of interest as powerful and versatile building blocks for an extended range of emerging nanoscale technologies. These novel technologies exploit size-related effects, the flexibility in the fabrication and design offered by the use of NWs, and the concomitant progress in probing nanoscale...Go to contribution page
