Synthetic techniques include, for example, hierarchical assembly using bottom up polymeric and bio-templating, core-shell colloidal nanoparticle synthesis, peptide/DNA biosynthesis methods, complex oxide molecular beam epitaxy, and PECVD nanocrystalline diamond. Dr. Bogdan Dabrowski specializes in the preparation and characterization of bulk samples, single-crystals and thick films of oxide materials using unique high oxygen pressure techniques.
