Research Synopsis:
Vapor phase synthesis and characterization of electronic and photonic materials; metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of group III-nitride materials (GaN, AlN, InN); vapor-liquid-solid growth of semiconductor nanowires; wide bandgap semiconductor characterization; heterostructure fabrication and characterization.
Technologies Impacted by Research:
Group III-nitride materials are used in a variety of applications including high brightness blue/green light emitting diodes, short wavelength laser diodes, UV detectors and microwave power transistors. Semiconductor nanowires are of interest for chemical and biological sensors as well as future nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices.
