For students 

If you are interested in doing a project at the NanoChemistry Group you are more than welcome to come over and talk to one of us. Most of us can be found at the ground floors of C and D buildings.

Below you will find a few examples of projects. All the projects can be tuned to fit your interests, and you are part of that process. Some people like to do synthesis, some like to do measurements.

We suggest that you look at some projects and then go talk to the appropriate person. He or she will probably give you a few articles to read. After thinking about it a bit more you can come back, and together with the supervisor you can decide the framework of the project.

Examples of Master's and Bachelor's projects can be found at the bottom of this page.

Master's and Bachelor's projects:

Organic Micro/Nanowire Arrays for Flexible and Transparent Organic Electronics

Transparent and flexible electronics are promising in numerous technology areas, including displays, solar cells and sensors.The goal of this project is to fabricate organic micro/nanowire arrays and devices on transparent polymer substrates. More info about the project can be downloaded on (.pdf) or by contacting Yanhong Tong (yanhongtong@gmail.com).

Fluorescent Nano Fibers

Bo Wegge Laursen and Frederik Westerlund have recently discovered a new convenient way of making fluorescent nano fibers. You can read more about this interesting new project in this document.

Gold Nano Rods

If you are interested in single crystal gold nano rods, you can be a part of this project at the Nano-Science Center. Kasper Moth Poulsen and Thomas Bjørnholm are contact persons and you can read more about the project here.

Single Molecules

The single molecule projects focuse on the intriguing new field of molecular electronics. We design, synthesize and investigate the properties of molecules that can be used in molecular electronics. You can read more about projects related to single molecules with Thomas Bjørnholm as supervisor here.

DNA-functionalised gold nanorods for hierarchical self-assembly of nano electronic compponents

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are of interest for a wide range of applications, ranging from imaging and  drug delivery to molecular electronics and they have been studied extensively for the last decade. An important issue in AuNR applications is the ability to self-assemble the rods in predictable structures on the nanoscale. More information available in this .pdf-file.
