Electronic Device Applications for Narrow Gap Semiconductors
Semiconductors with narrow energy gaps have electronic properties, including a high mobility and strong spin-orbit coupling, that are advantageous for electronic device applications. The switching speed of a field-effect transistor and the sensitivity of a geometrical magnetoresistor are improved by a high carrier mobility. In addition to these traditional devices, we are studying devices that take advantage of quantum-mechanical or spin-orbit effects.

Molecular Biomimetics
Molecular Biomimetics is an emerging multidisciplinary research area in which genetically selected and designed inorganic-binding peptides are utilized as building blocks, i.e., molecular synthesizers, erectors, and assemblers, in forming functional nanomaterials for implementation in technology and medicine.

Plasmonic Properties of Aluminum Nanoparticles Fabricated by Nanosphere Lithography
George H. Chan, Jing Zhao, George C. Schatz, and Richard P. Van Duyne. Northwestern University Materials Research Science & Engineering Center DMR-0520513
A plasmon is the result of light interacting with the surface electrons in materials that meet specific dielectric requirements. Noble metals have long been used as plasmonic materials, yet other materials are capable of supporting surface plasmons. Recent work in the Van Duyne lab has shown that aluminum nanoparticles fabricated using a process known as nanosphere lithography (NSL) display plasmons throughout the UV-vis region.
