1. Building crystals out of crystals : Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of iron oxide nanoparticles and self-assembled mesocrystals
Abstract : This thesis is focused on the fabrication and characterization of self-assembled arrays of magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4, γ-Fe2O3 and Fe1-xO) nanoparticles. The synthesis of spherical and cubic iron oxide nanocrystals, with sizes between 5 and 30 nm and narrow size distributions, is demonstrated, along with a rigorous morphological characterization of the cubic nanoparticles.

2. Nonlinear materials for optical power limiting : characterization and modelling
Abstract : High power laser pulses can be a threat to optical sensors, including the human eye. Traditionally this threat has been alleviated by colour filters that block radiation in chosen wavelength ranges. READ MORE

3. In vitro characterization of nanodrugs at model lipid membranes
Abstract : The use of nano-sized drug carriers to improve the efficiency of drug delivery has become well established during the past decades. New nanoparticle (NP) formulations for the administration of biopharmaceuticals (e.g. proteins and peptides) emerge at an increasing rate and the need for methods to evaluate their properties is expanding.

4. Strategies for developing peptide and protein selective plastic antibodies
Abstract : The objective of the thesis was to explore approaches for the development of molecularly imprinted materials with predetermined selectivity for peptide or protein targets. In particular, the work has focused on molecularly imprinted nanoparticles synthesized using solid-phase synthesis protocols. READ MORE

5. Aerosol Metal Nanoparticles and their Role in Particle-Assisted Growth of III–V Nanowires
Abstract : Semiconductor nanowires have properties that make them potentially useful for applications in future electronic, photovoltaic, and optoelectronic devices. A powerful nanowire fabrication technique is the use of a nanoparticle as a preferential nucleation site, from which a nanowire grows. READ MORE
