The Dickerson Group’s research activities can be divided into two trajectories:
1: Electrophoretic Deposition
The electric field-mediated arrangement and deposition (electrophoretic deposition) of colloidal nanomaterials into monolayers, thin films, heterostructures, composites, and coatings.
2: Rare Earth Nanomaterials
The synthesis and characterization of magnetic and luminescent nanoparticles, 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 nanoparticles and nanoparticles films and heterostructures.
The Definitive EPD Reference Book
Electrophoretic Deposition of Nanomaterials from Springer Books has been very well received by the scientific community! This reference book is available as a hardcover and as an e-book:
