Novel Optical Spectroscopy Techniques for Analyzing Nanoscale Structures
Understanding electron- and energy-transfer processes in nanoscale systems is critical both for investigating fundamental energy redistribution mechanisms in nanoscopic media and for developing new devices based on these systems. Ken L. Knappenberger is the recipient of the 2016 Coblentz Award and is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University, and he and his group study these processes in nanoscale assemblies by developing and implementing novel optical spectroscopy approaches. He recently spoke to us about this work. |
