The main goal of my research is to understand the fundamental principles governing the coexistence of and interactions between different properties in low-dimensional materials, which are often considered to be mutually exclusive. Simultaneous control and manipulation of multiple functionally-relevant properties at the nanoscale could lead to radically new approaches to energy-efficient information technologies, solid-state lighting, photonics, and catalysis. This proposal specifically addresses the importance of multifunctionality for new sustainable technologies with long-term benefits to Canada. My research program is interdisciplinary in nature and uses a combination of synthetic, spectroscopic, structural, physical, and theoretical methods. Within the designed projects we study the role of nanostructure size, composition, phase transformation, native defects formation, and molecular functionalization in enhancing the inherent degrees of freedom at the nanoscale. These projects and the future activities related to the proposal can be classified in two major directions:

我研究的主要目标是了解低维材料中不同性质之间共存和相互作用的基本原理，这些性质通常被认为是相互排斥的。在纳米尺度上同时控制和操纵多个功能相关的特性，可能会为节能信息技术、固态照明、光子学和催化带来全新的方法。该提案具体阐述了多功能性对于新的可持续技术的重要性，并对加拿大产生长期效益。我的研究计划是跨学科的性质，并使用合成，光谱，结构，物理和理论方法的组合。在设计的项目中，我们研究了纳米结构的尺寸，成分，相变，原生缺陷的形成，和分子功能化在提高纳米尺度的固有自由度的作用。这些项目和与提案有关的未来活动可分为两大类：
