Nano science and nano technology research using ion beams, lasers and gamma radiations

Joint Webinar: 36^th International Conference on Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology & 24^th World Congress on Materials Science and Engineering

February 15-16, 2023 | Webinar

Keynote: J Material Sci Eng

Abstract :

Swift heavy ion beams, lasers and gamma radiations have been used to synthesize and modify nanostructures of elemental as well as compound semiconductors. Subsequent characterization is done by using XRD, Raman and TEM. An overview of the dependence of the resulting new class of nano-materials on energy and fluence of the initial swift heavy ions and lasers will be presented. These external radiations modify the electronic and optical properties of nanostructures (quantum wells, quantum dots and nanowires). Some applications of these studies in nanotechnology in general and opto-electronic devices in particular along with their relevance in energy research as well as biosciences, will also be discussed during this webinar on the theme innovative methodology and modern advances in materials science & engineering.
