Extracting Electronic Structure in Amorphous Oxide Semiconductors from Photoresponse

• Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS) provide superior performance and lower cost for next generation displays. However, instability under illumination remains a critical issue.

Public Lecture: “How Things Work: The Nano of Computers”

In September 2014, CRISP hosted a public lecture to school children and their parents entitled “How Things Work: The Nano of Computers” by Prof.

Using a single atomic layer to turn an insulator into a metal

By precisely controlling the surface composition of thin oxide films, films can be switched from a metal to an insulator. Atomic-scale control of the surface is achieved using molecular beams of atoms (the molecular beam epitaxy growth method).

Conducting Highways are Created on the Surface of Magnetic Topological Insulators

Topological insulators (TIs) are a novel class of quantum materials characterized by an insulating bulk and metallic conducting states at the surface. This metallic behavior however, can be changed by applying a magnetic field or, equivalently, by coupling the TI to a ferromagnetic material.
