and materials science.
Course contents
Brief account on supramolecular photochemistry and analysis of some complex systems (quantum Dots, Dendrimers, Molecular Machines): from design to application.
Introduction of the principal photophysical methods with nanometrical resolution and their applications:Fluorescence Microscopy ; Multiphoton Excitation and Microscopy; Fluorescence sensing; Fluorescence-Lifetime Imaging Microscopy; Single-Molecule detection; Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy; STED.
Overview, from history to state of the art, on the applications of the photochemistry in nanotechnology (LED and OLED, solar energy conversion, bio-applications, new materials).
Discussion on future advances.
