Program Highlights for year 2012

MRSEC Takes the Lead in Coaching the Coaches in Materials Science Event

Utah MRSEC provided staff and faculty support for a Science Olympiad coaches’ clinic in November 2012, to help science teachers prepare to coach teams.

 

Photochemically Mapping the Near-Fields of Plasmonic Nanocrescents

Objective: Use plasmon-enhanced photochemical reactions to map the polarization-dependent near fields of optical antennas. Approach: Use the anisotropic nano-crescent structure and SU-8 photo-resist. SU-8 exposure accomplished through plasmon-enhanced multi-photon absorption by 800 nm light. 

Tracking the Movement of Dopants in an Analog Memristor Using X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy

Epitaxial Graphene’s Edge

Ming Ruan, Yike Hu, James Palmer, Tom Guo, John Hankinson, Rui Dong, Claire Berger, Walt de Heer School of Physics, Georgia Tech

Highly Stretchable and Tough Hydrogels

Hydrogels are used as scaffolds for tissue engineering, vehicles for drug delivery, actuators for optics and fluidics, and model extracellular matrices for biological studies. The scope of hydrogel applications, however, is often severely limited by their mechanical behaviors. Most hydrogels are brittle, sensitive to

Spin Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED)

Objective: Develop and characterize OLEDs based on spin-aligned carrier injection of which electro-luminescence (EL) is controlled by magnetic field.

Approach: Use ferromagnetic cathode and anode that work as bipolar spin- valve injecting both electrons and holes into a deuterated π-conjugated polymer.
