Acquisition of Instrumentation to Characterize and Implement Nanowire-Based Sensors and Imaging Probes

Abstract

Instrumentation was acquired from the DURIP grant to set up a system for the growth and characterization of metal nitride materials. This instrument system was installed in extensively renovated laboratory space to meet the specialized needs of the equipment and is now fully functional. The instrumentation has been tested and shown to produce high-quality thin film materials with excellent photonic properties, and has also been used to prepare and characterize metal nitride nanowire materials for nanophotonic studies. The capabilities opened up by this new instrumentation enhance dramatically the scope of the P.I.'s AFOSR-funded research program.
