Description of training offered * Description du stage offre This job is a Masters thesis adequate, and is an interdisciplinary research project.. The overall objection of the research is the development of new integrated optical devices for sensors as well as surface functionalisations in combination with them. This special project is a new approach to use the bulk fields of an integrated optical device for sensing.
A hollow optical fiber set-up has to be build being similar to an existing set up. Solutions with gold nanoparticles inside will be rinsed trough the hollow fiber and absorption spectra will be taken simultaneously. The gold nanoparticles carry recognition sites for right handed chiral drugs. So if a racetmatic mixture of drugs is in the solution besides the gold nanoparticles, the right handed drugs will bind to the gold nanoparticles and start a clustering process. This leads to changes in the absorption spectrum. Gold nanoparticles of a specific size show a resonant absorption band, called the plasmon absorption, which is located in the visible spectrum. The position of this resonance shifts to higher wavelengths when the particles are enlarged, e.g. when they form clusters. This new technology is used for screening of enantio selective catalyst, with the aim to find catalysts which show the highest enenatiomeric acess of the desired right handed drug.. Training keywords: waveguiding, optics, absorption spectroscopy, nanoparticle physics and chemistry, cuvette engineering, liquid handling, laser, racematic mixtures, chiral molecules, optical activity, ....
