10:00 - 10:40
Room: Seminar Room, 2nd Floor The interaction of light with matter can be engineered by controlling the photonic density of states (PDOS). In this talk I will present some of our recent results on photonic structures that enhance PDOS. Broadband enhancement of spontaneous emission rate, control of the strength of interaction between light and excitons and engineering light extraction will be discussed. Specifically, I will talk about our work on metamaterials that are engineered to have hyperbolic dispersion which allow broadband enhancement of spontaneous emission [1] as well as methods to efficiently extract light from these structures [2]. Following this, I will briefly touch upon our recent work on microcavities embedded with two-dimensional atomic crystals [3] as well as hybrid organic and inorganic excitons that show emergent properties [4].

10:40 - 11:20
Room: Seminar Room, 2nd Floor Over the last few years, the life span of nanobubbles has emerged as a topic of scientific debate. Though their lifetimes have been predicted to be infinitesimally short, scientific experiments have shown that nanobubbles can have lifetimes of many hours and can be effective in many applications. Tennant Company, a leader in sustainable cleaning innovation, has found that its ec-H2O™ technology employed on thousands of pieces of equipment worldwide produces nanobubbles at high concentrations. Further, through field use and laboratory testing, these nanobubbles have been observed to provide effective cleaning of certain soils from floor surfaces. . This talk discusses the application of the in situ liquid-cell holder in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory to image the nanobubbles produced by the ec-H2O™ technology.
