LINCHPIN: A platform to LINk between CHemistry and PhysIcs of colloidal Nanomaterials

The LINCHPIN project focuses on understanding the physical properties of precursor molecules, pre-nucleation clusters, nuclei, and nanostructures. It also aims to gain a perspective on the interdependence between physical and chemical aspects of nanoparticle nucleation.

This project is supported by the European Research Council (ERC).

Contact for this project: Prof. Dr. Dorota Koziej, Dr. Jagadesh Kopula Kesavan, Dr. Francesco Caddeo, Dr. Cecilia Zito, Lars Klemeyer, Melike Gumus Akcaalan

In-situ spectroscopic investigations on colloidal Transition Metal Nitrides (TMT)

This project focuses on the reaction kinetics, nucleation and growth of transition metal nitrides (TMNs) and Ternary Transition Metal Nitrides (TTMNs) nanoparticles by photon-in photon-out spectroscopy.
