Where are the ligands ? Find out how spectral hole burning can be used to distinguish edge and facet-bound ligands on InP nanocrystals in our latest @ChemMater in collaboration with @ivaninfante76 https://t.co/RTPyxIRp4C. Try this approach for your nanocrystals too !

[PCN @NanoUGent]

Read our overview of 10 year of NMR studies on nanocrystal ligands in Accounts of Chemical Research ! https://t.co/TKEWMtppjP
Published in the special issue “Ligand and Surface Chemistry of Nanoparticles”. Looking forward to the full collection of papers @ACSPublications

Wishing you all the best for the new year, a good health and lots of warmth, and of course a merry Christmas ! Finally, a big shout-out to our recently graduated PhDs @c_roda28 @cingione1 and @GabrielePippia , best of luck in your upcoming adventures, we'll miss you !

[Pieter Geiregat @Pieter_Geiregat]

Excited to finally share the news that I was awarded an ERC Starting grant ! Still pinching my arm, but in NOMISS, we’ll explore nanocrystals for mid-infrared light amplification to enable low-cost chemical sensors. More to follow very soon ! @ERC_Research @ResearchUGent #ERCStg

Excited to share our work on the Role of Thermally Occupied Hole States in Room‐Temperature Broadband Gain in CdSe/CdS Giant‐Shell Nanocrystals ! Great job from Ivo on extending state-filling to tens of excitons while including temperature, congrats ! https://t.co/U9cb1FWhvJ

[PCN @NanoUGent]

Our first steps into the synthesis of colloidal fluorescent MoS2 ! Great work from @GabrielePippia https://t.co/J2yWxZRTlc

[PCN @NanoUGent]

Congrats to Kai-Wen for winning the best master thesis dissertation for his work on colloidal quantum dot VECSELS, a challenging topic but a great student always makes it work out ! @PhotonicsUGent @DThourhout

[PCN @NanoUGent]

Colloidal QD lasers gain traction, but will they ever use InP-based QDs for optical gain? Check our first observation of stimulated emission from InP/ZnSe QDs in @AdvOpticalMat (https://t.co/GPm1Z0EYc0) !

[PCN @NanoUGent]

Thanks to great work of @theowenlab, we could extend predictive QD sizing (https://t.co/qabjk5cXK3) to ZnS QDs. Check our comment @ChemMater !
