Ultrafast and Nonlinear
Optical Studies of Reduced Dimensional and Quantum Confined Systems
Our
interests are in the optical properties of reduced
dimensional and nanoscale systems, particularly the effects of
confinement on
exciton-exciton and spin-spin interactions and electronic and
vibrational
dynamics in reduced dimensions ranging from water surfaces to
nanocrystal quantum dots. We
address these problems through an array of ultrafast nonlinear optical
techniques and are interested in developing and refining new techniques
as needed for
addressing questions of scientific importance that would otherwise
remain
inaccessible. We are interested in studying systems ranging from model
surfaces
in ultrahigh vacuum to “real” systems under ambient conditions.
