IRG III: Directed Nano-assemblies and Interfaces for Advanced Electronics @ Stanford/ IBM ARC/ UC Davis/ UC Berkeley
Research Fields: | Nanostructures / Nanoparticles |
The mission of IRG-3 is to control and characterize interfacial charge transport in directed nano-assemblies. This research is motivated by basic issues that relate to the performance of organic electronic devices, including photovoltaics, field-effect transistors, biological sensors, and memory elements. The scope covers a variety of important interfaces: metal/organic, inorganic/organic, organic/organic, and organic/biological. Our activities involve materials synthesis and processing, theoretical simulation, assembly, interfacial engineering, device fabrication and characterization.
Participants: Bao (Stanford - Coordinator), Frechet (UC Berkeley), Frommer (IBM), Galli (UC Davis - Seed), Jones (IBM - Seed), Knoll (MPI-P, Germany), Liu (UC Davis - Seed), McGehee (Stanford), Miller (IBM), Scott (IBM - Co-coordinator), 5 graduate students, 4 postdocs. Affiliates: Frank (Stanford), Fuller (Stanford).
