BSM special seminar

May 9, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

On Monday 9th May Julian Gargiulo, from the University of Buenos Aires and CIBION institute will visit our group.

Please find bellow the information for the seminar he will be giving.

Printing and connecting colloidal nanoparticles with optical forces

Julian Gargiulo

Optical printing is a simple and flexible method to bring colloidal nanoparticles from suspension to specific locations of a substrate. However, its application has been limited to the fabrication of arrays of isolated nanoparticles because, until now, it was never possible to bring nanoparticles closer together than approximately 300 nm. Here, we propose this limitation is due to thermophoretic repulsive forces generated by plasmonic heating of the NPs. We show how to overcome this obstacle and demonstrate the optical printing of connected nanoparticles with well-defined orientation. These experiments constitute a key step toward the fabrication by optical printing of functional nanostructures and microcircuits based on colloidal nanoparticle.

The seminar will take place at HL207, starting at 9am.
