Ultrafast electron transfer at the molecule/nanoparticle junction: A combined single molecule fluorescence and ensemble average transient absorption study

在这个由化学系实验物理化学项目资助的奖项中，埃默里大学的Tianquan Lian教授和他的博士后，研究生和本科生研究生将研究分子和纳米颗粒之间的电子转移。 这些实验的目标是更好地理解这一基本过程，这与纳米粒子的许多潜在应用有关，包括太阳能转换，电子学和分子电子学。除了拟议研究的更广泛的科学影响外，连教授还将与东南地区的本科生合作，参与科学。 他的努力将包括提供夏季研究职位，研讨会访问，合作研究项目和区域会议。

In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Tianquan Lian of Emory University and his post-doctoral, graduate and undergraduate research students will investigate electron transfer at the junction between molecules and nanoparticles. The goal of these experiments is to develop a better understanding of this fundamental process that is relevant to many potential applications for nanoparticles, including solar energy conversion, photocatalysis and molecular electronics. In addition to the broader scientific impact of the proposed research, Prof. Lian will work with undergraduates from the southeast region to become involved in science. His efforts will include providing summer research positions, seminar visits, collaborative research projects, and regional conferences.
