3 Description

 

CSPIN is developing a number of kits and presentation materials to relate the complexity and challenge of material science and engineering. Kits are being prepared for LED's, piezoelectric materials, polymers and scanning probe microscopy.

 

The Center for Semiconductor Physics in Nanostructures is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the University of Arkansas and the University of Oklahoma. The quest to improve computing power, data storage, and communication speed demands new approaches to device fabrication and new materials systems. Our mission is to develop ways to create and probe structures on the nanometer scale, study their individual and collective dynamics, and explore their use in next generation electronic, optical and chemical systems.

 

  • IRG1 focuses on the creation of nanoscale structures, such as dots and wires, by many different approaches.
  • IRG2 researches how to make extremely smooth interfaces, allowing for smaller quantum well heterostructures.
