Electrical and magnetic properties of metalized peptide nanotubes KU Leuven
The aim is to perform fundamental research in preparation of a PhD degree in physics, working at the border between solid-state physics at the nanometer scale and molecular biophysics. Nanotubes formed from diphenylalanine, one of the simplest dipeptides capable of self-assembly into nanotubes, will be used as a template to grow metallic nanowires by deposition of metallic nanoparticles that can then coalesce into continuous metallic wires. ...
