Unique capability for synthesis and characterization of defect-managed oxide films and nanostructures
Abstract
The PIs across the interdisciplinary departments at the University of Minnesota propose to acquire a tunable light source and the transport measurement system to be integrated with the PI’s existing molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) chamber for materials research, education, and student training. This equipment will be the first-of-its-kind in the nation to enable materials synthesis of advanced functional materials at nanoscale with structure and interface quality that is either similar to or exceeding to that of conventional semiconductors. As described below, the new tool will allow creation of defect-managed thin films and nanostructures of functional oxides on-demand by harnessing light energy during synthesis and will establish unique research capabilities for novel materials synthesis with the fast feedback loop using transport measurements. The proposed tool will further enhance the educational landscapes of University of Minnesota through supporting advanced graduate level courses.
