The Dickerson Group’s research activities can be divided into two trajectories:
1)
The electric field-mediated arrangement and deposition of colloidal nanomaterials into monolayers, thin films, composites, coatings, and heterostructures.
2)
The synthesis and characterization of ultra-small magnetic and luminescent nanocrystals, conducted by exploring their crystallinity by high resolution electron microscopy (HR-TEM and Z-STEM) and by studying the photoluminescent or magnetic properties of the nanocrystals and nanocrystal assemblies.
