Electron temperature and density characterization
using L -
shell spectroscopy of laser irradiated buried iron layer targets
Using transmission
electron microscopy imaging and powder X-ray diffraction to study the structural characteristics of the nanoparticles and Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies to quantify lattice strain and photoluminescence behavior, the group found a correlation between the amount of tin in the core and how well the core's lattice matched that of the cadmium - sulfide outer
shell.
By
using what is known as an ion microscope to detect these ions, the scientists were able, for the first time, to observe the interaction of two photons confined in an attosecond pulse with
electrons in the inner orbital
shells of an atom.
The researchers are investigating the manipulation of light in plasmonic nanostructures
using the dephasing and population dynamics of
electron - hole - pairs in metal coated, core -
shell semiconductor nanowires.
Using methods of attophysics, the researchers are trying to track the ultrafast movement of
electrons in molecules, or more precisely the restructuring of their
electron shells.
Applications for this research demonstrate implications for
use in materials like abrasion resistant paints, high surface area catalyst,
electron tunneling barriers, ultra-violet adsorption or capture in sunscreens or solar cells and even beyond when core -
shell nanoparticles are
used as buildings blocks for making new artificial nanostructured solids with unprecedented properties.
Using atomic force microscopy, and
electron and X-ray imaging methods, Professor McKee's team of collaborators found that this dual - function relationship is possible thanks to minute changes in the
shell's nanostructure that occurs during egg incubation.
The researchers then added virus capsids to the receptor - membranes and observed the resulting changes to the capsid
shell using an imaging technique called cryo -
electron microscopy.
