Sukhbir Randhawa, Senior Capstone Seminar Many different factors cause DNA damage in cells. UV radiation is one of the major factors; if a cell's DNA repair system does not keep repairing the
applications. Molecules called ligands bind to the surface of nanocrystals during their synthesis. Previous studies have demonstrated that these ligands can be exchanged, resulting in an alteration of nanocrystal characteristics—one of which being photoluminescence (PL) intensity. We synthesized both colloidal CdSe nanocrystals and nanobelts then exchanged their surface ligands with pyridine and dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). This enabled us to look at whether ligands have similar effects on nanocrystal PL

Rodion A. Zhuravlev, Senior Capstone Seminar Solid polymer electrolytes are a safer alternative to the current electrolytes found in lithium-ion batteries.
, these metal nanoclusters have been getting more attention where gold nanoclusters have a stable base to be applied for practical applications. Silver nanoclusters, however mimic gold nanoclusters in terms of color, absorbance, and fluorescence. We follow a ligand exchange synthesis of [Ag25(SPhMe2)18]– where we see absorbance at 485 nm and fluorescence at 820 nm similar to the literature.2 From there we study the luminescence of [Ag25(SPhMe2)18]– with organic soluble thiols with 11-octadecanthiol
