Electronic Structure of Functionalised Semiconductor Nanoparticles

Abstract

a) Brief objective of the project:

To study the electronic structui•e of porphyrin functionalized semiconductor nanoparticles with a goal to understand the efficacy of this hybrid nanostructures for use in solar cells

To study the electronic structure of fullerene/carbon nanotube functionalized semiconductor nanostructures

To study the electronic structure of self-assembly of zero-dimensional Cd- Chalcogenide clusters functionalized with bi-functional covalent linkers to understand the feaslbility of creating an organized nanocluster-ligand assemblies.
