Welcome

Nanostructures,
defined as condensed matter systems with minimum dimension on the order
of 1 – 10 nm, have many novel physical properties including structural,
electronic, photonic, and magnetic properties that are drastically
different from their bulk counter-parts. Over the past few years, the
materials research of nanostructures has experienced an explosive
growth driven mainly by the promising technological applications of
these novel properties. The research activities of this group have been
focused on the nanoscale electronic materials, including thin-film
growth, nanoscale characterization of electronic materials, and
exploration of novel quantum phenomena. In addition, we have also
studied nano-mechanical properties of biological materials and
thermoelectric properties of nanostructures.
Our
group has extensive collaborations with other research groups both
on-campus and off-campus. On-campus collaborations are facilitated by
the Center for Nano &
Molecular Science & Technology and Texas Materials
Institute.
Off-campus
collaborators include industrial laboratories (IBM, Texas Instruments,
AMD, Motorola, and SEMATECH), other universities, and National
Laboratories (Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Sandia National
Laboratories).
