George Chumanov Ph.D.
Dr. Chumanov's current research consists of three parts: the preparation and modification of different nanoparticles, including one-, two- and three-dimensional regular structures; the investigation of their properties using different spectrochemical techniques together with optical, electron, atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy; and the development of new materials and devices for environmental and biomedical diagnostic applications. His concentration is on metal, metal/semiconductor and metal/dielectric hybrid nanoparticles, which exhibit unique optical properties due to the excitation of so-called plasmon resonances (plasmons). Plasmons can be effectively tuned by changing the size, shape, composition and local environment of nanoparticles, making them the ideal building blocks for the next generation of optical materials, electronic and photonic devices.EducationChumanov received his B.S. at Moscow Engineering Physics Institute and his Ph.D. (1988) from Moscow State University, working with Professor Edward Manykin in the field of optics and spectroscopy of biomolecules. |
By this ResearcherRelated ContentUCLA Team Develops Graphene-Based SupercapacitorResearchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
Graphene: Synthesis and Applications: Author InterviewAs the nanocommunity celebrates the year since the pioneers of graphene won the Nobel Prize, NanoScienceWorks.org speaks with the co-editor of Graphene: Synthesis and Applications. This is first comprehensive book to look at the exciting industrial properties and promises of graphene’s planar sheet. Prof. Wonbong Choi is the Director of Nanomaterials & Device Laboratory at Florida International University’s Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering.
Rice University Opens Graphene for Organic ChemistryRice University researchers have found a highly controllable way to attach organic molecules to pristine graphene. The work opens the door for a new class of chemical sensors, thermoelectric devices and metamaterials.
