The properties of structured polymers and colloids constitute the research focus of the group of Prof. Dr. Retsch.
Specifically, we are interested in:
- Colloidal Self-Assembly:
Particle synthesis, self-assembly in 2D and 3D, phoXonic crystals - Plasmonic nanostructure:
Nanosphere lithography, hexagonal, periodic arrays, nanomeshes, implementation into photovoltaics, plasmon hybridization - Templated structures:
Inverse opals, porous materials, silica hollow spheres - Thermal transport in mesoscopic systems:
Thermal transport in thin films, hybrid systems, method developement, influence of interfaces and phase transitions, directed and anisotropic thermal transport - Nanophotonics
Nanostructuring of dielectric materials, emission, absorption, and scattering in the mid-IR regime
