Self-organized Nanomaterials for tailored optical and electrical properties
ABOUT NANOGOLD:
NANOGOLD is a Framework Programme 7 project funded by the European Commission. The project was launched in August 2009 and it is going to run for 3 years.
The NANOGOLD project aims at the fabrication and application of bulk electro-magnetic metamaterials. We will apply self-organization of organic-inorganic composite materials containing resonant entities. To tune and optimize electromagnetic properties, resonance and interference at different length scales will be implemented. In such a way we will obtain bulk optical metamaterials with unprecedented properties operating in spectral domains appropriate for photonics that can be used in applications. Proof of principle devices will be the outcome of the project.
