个人简介
The main research thrust of Oron’s group is the study of the optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals (also termed ‘quantum dots’). These particles’ typical size does not exceed ten nanometers, and thus they contain only several hundreds or thousands of atoms. Unlike bulk materials, for such small clusters of matter, the properties of matter strongly depend on shape and size. As a result, nano-scale materials can have properties which are simply unachievable for bulk materials.
The only practical way to fabricate such small nanocrystals is by wet chemical methods, via the process known as ‘self-assembly’. Achievement of the required degree of control over these reactions to fabricate ‘engineered’ nanocrystals,
containing several materials in a controlled arrangement, is a major challenge. This type of control can enable fabrication of particles with unique properties such as two-color quantum emitters or nonlinear optical scatterers, which can scatter light at a different color than the one they are illuminated by.
A major component in achievement of physical understanding of dynamic processes in nanocrystals arises from the ability to look at them one by one. This allows to identify differences between particles belonging to a seemingly identical group, as well as to study dynamical evolution over time. One example of a process whose discovery required single particle observation is ‘blinking’ – a naturally occurring spontaneous transition from a ‘bright’ emitting state to a ‘dark’ one. Single particle observation requires delicate experimental techniques due to the exceedingly low light levels involved, but is a crucial component in design of functional particles.
In parallel with the work on design and study of semiconductor nanocrystals, Oron’s group also studies the potential exploitation of the unique properties of these particles to the development of new types of photovoltaic cells, or towards achieving efficiency improvements in already existing solar cells. Finally, Oron’s group is taking part in a number of national and international collaborative efforts on varied topics including ultrafast spectroscopy, optogenetic photoexcitation of neurons and readout of their activity and study of the optical properties of biogenic crystals.
