Research Group Summary.

Professor Jamie Warner's group has moved to the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He is an academic visitor in the Department of Materials at Oxford University. His group studies the next generation of nanostructured materials with unique properties that will impact electronic, opto-electronic, and energy applications. Particular focus is made to the atomic level structure and dynamics of nanomaterials probed by aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy. A wide range of nanoscale characterization tools (TEM, SEM, AFM, FIB) are used to probe materials across all dimension scales. New types of nanoscale devices are produced in clean-room nanofabrication facilities, utilizing materials ranging from 2D Crystals (graphene, BN, MoS2, WS2 etc), 1D wires and nanotubes, to 0D quantum dots.

The group is multi-disciplinary and collaborates extensively with a wide range of scientists within USA, and internationally.



Both fundamental and applied research is undertaken in the following areas of Nanostructured Materials:

-Aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy.

-Synthesis, chemical functionalization, processing, self-assembly and purification.

-Optical spectroscopy (Photoluminescence, Absorption and Raman).

-Electronic and opto-electronic device fabrication and characterization.
