研究领域

Energy, charge and spin transport across molecular interfaces Research in our group is focused on the growth, modification and characterization of surfaces and interfaces for applications in energy conversion, photocatalysis, chemical sensors and molecular spintronics. Students in my group us a variety of surface analysis techniques including scanning probe microscopy, electron microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy and perform electrical transport measurements. Below is a description of some of the current projects in the group. Molecular electronics and spintronics Organic semiconductors can absorb/emit light and transport charge. As a result, a multitude of functional devices, e.g. solar cells, transistors, and light-emitting displays can be fabricated. To expand on the versatility of molecular materials, there has been an effort to manipulate the spin degree of freedom of the electrical carriers. Our goal is to measure spin-dependent transport properties in organic semiconductors to better understand the fundament mechanisms that govern spin-relaxation mechanisms. Nanomaterials Nanomaterials offer many unique advantages in the design of chemical sensors and energy conversion devices, principally due to the large surface area-to-volume ratio. We have several projects involving the synthesis of semiconducting nanostructures for applications in thermoelectrics, photocatalysis and chemical sensors
