Custom Designed Thermal Evaporator for Transformative Research and Education in Novel Thermal Management and Energy Conversion Devices Based on Nanomaterials
Abstract
This DURIP acquisition has been placed in the Nanomaterials Floor of the Marcus Nanotechnology Building at Georgia Tech, where 3 faculty, over 30 graduate students, and more than 5 post docs, research engineers, and visiting scholars are co-located for dedicated and collaborative research spanning 4 departments: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. The tool is available to all of these researchers, and to the more than 300 users ofthe facilities of the Marcus Nanotechnology Building for research and educational activities. The Marcus Nanotechnology Building is a part of the Georgia Tech Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN).This DURIP has helped to advance carbon nanotube rectenna development, fundamental understanding of thermal and electrical transport in conjugated polymers, and launch a new area of thermoplasmonic energy conversion in nanowires.
