DESCRIPTION:There is tremendous interest in one-dimensional nanostructure
 s\, since they permit enhanced properties as well as new paradigms for e
 lectronic\, optical\, optoelectronic\, and photonic devices. Besides ino
 rganic systems\, polymeric nanowires and \nnanotubes are being intensive
 ly investigated. Indeed\, they allow to design complex architectures by 
 combining different materials at the scale of the characteristic physica
 l lengths in order to control optoelectronic properties\, to get enhance
 d \nbehaviors and ultimately to promote new paradigms for devices. Moreo
 ver\, the 1D geometry promotes sub-wavelength optical propagation and ca
 vity effects suitable for integrated nanophotonic devices (for a review\
 , see [1]). \n\nIn this seminar\, an insight in the design of pi-conjuga
 ted and non pi-conjugated polymeric nanostructures for tackling some cha
 llenges of light-engineering and propagation at a sub-micrometric scale 
 will be proposed. It will concern :\n\n- the fabrication by template str
 ategy of nanowires\, nanotubes and nanocomposites \n\n- the study of the
 ir electrical\, optical\, plasmonic and photonic properties.\n\nPure pol
 ymer systems made of photoresist or conjugated polymer\, as well as hybr
 id nanostructures combining a polymer matrix with carbon nanotubes\, or 
 metallic nanoparticles\, or phosphorescent clusters have been exploited\
 , \ndepending on the targeted functionalities. A focus on the nanostruct
 uration effects on these properties will be proposed.\n\n [1] A. Garreau

 PhD in Materials Physics under supervision of professor A. Fert (Nobel P
 rize in Physics\, 2007) from University of Orsay Paris-XI\, France. He d
 id postdoctoral research with \nprofessor L. Piraux at UCL\, Belgium\, b
 efore joining the Faculty at the University of Nantes in 1998. \n\nHe is
  currently professor and Nanowire group leader at the Institut des Matér
 iaux Jean Rouxel in Nantes\, France. His research is focused on (multi)f
 unctional 1D nanostructures made of (conjugated) polymers\, metals\,\nna
 nocarbons\, and hybrids in relation with electronics\, optoelectronics\,
  plasmonics and nanophotonics applications.\n\n\n
