Compositional Programming of Group IV Semiconductor Nanomaterials Toward Rationally-Designed Optoelectronic Properties
Abstract
The proposed projects will use chemical methods to fabricate Germanium-Tin alloy nanomaterials with programmable composition and use these materials in light emitting, and ultimately laser-emitting devices. Success in this project could facilitate further application of the novel materials and processes in integrated photonics circuits which could enable advanced military capabilities in applications that involve transfer of digital data at extremely high speeds with low power, low weight, and small sized components, necessary for the Navy and the Air Force whether at sea or in airborne environments. Conducted at Delaware State University, and HBCU, the proposed project will provide research experiences in advanced materials to undergraduate and graduate STEM students, including students from underrepresented minority groups in STEM and enhance materials chemistry-related curriculum with the project learning experiences. Overall, the project will contribute to DoD mission by conducting cutting-edge research in nanophotonics and by preparing the next generation of well-trained scientists, toward a highly-qualified and diversified workforce including the DoD workforce.
