Subject area:
Electrical Transport Properties of Single Nanocrystals
Research:
My research is focused on the transport properties of single nanocrystals NCs); within this research I am involved in the Marie-Curie project named NANOTAIL, financed by the European Commission. The aim of the NANOTAIL is to design and develop new multi-functional nanocrystals, to understand their formation, their assembly and their properties.
The main objectives of my work are the followings:- Fabricate electrodes with nanosize separation, position single NCs between them, and investigate experimentally the key factors in the controlled assembly of single NCs into nanogaps.
- Systematically study the effect of size, shape and heterostructure on electrical transport properties with different temperature and magnetic field in order to explore physical mechanisms of electron transport in these structures.
- Develop a process to fabricate and test a vertical integrated single nanocrystals’ device based on the knowledge obtained from previous experimental results.
Nanoelectrodes and device fabrication will be performed in our Italian partner laboratory (NNL), in close collaboration with Dr. Roman Krahne’s group.

Personal:
Most of time you can find me in the lab, but doing experiments is not my only interest; I like to travel a lot and I am also very much interested to learn about different cultures and languages.
