Nanoparticles and molecules can organize themselves into a wide variety of nanostructures when dispersed in a liquid medium. We study the properties and the dynamics of these structures and their interaction with light. We use microfluidics, microscopy, optical spectroscopy and numerical methods to do this.
This work may find applications in biomedical and environmental diagnostics and could also lead to new materials for application in solar energy or information technologies. It is part of the research activities of the SAMSON team of the MOLTECH-Anjou laboratory.
