Inorganic Materials
Our research is directed to the synthesis and study of
a variety of new optical, electro-optical, and electronic inorganic materials.
Efforts are underway on the crystal growth and examination of nonlinear
optical crystals for efficient generation of high-power vacuum
ultraviolet (VUV) laser light. We are also involved in the
generation of new VUV-excited phosphors for laser detection, imaging,
and display applications. A multidisciplinary effort involving
chemistry, materials science, physics, and electrical engineering is
focused on the generation of new wide band-gap semiconductors for
enabling the new fields of transparent electronics and displays. We
have also recently developed techniques that provide a means for
low-temperature deposition and patterning of oxide films, enabling the field of printed electronics and digital fabrication.
Collaborative studies are also underway to elucidate the mechanisms and
unique synthetic capabilities of these new processes and their applications to device fabrication.
