Synthesis of Controlled III-Nitride Nanostructures

The project is conducted at NC State University in conjunction with collaboration with Lehigh University.

This project explores the synthesis of nanometer-scale semiconductor materials called quantum dots, with the aim of creating uniform-sized ensembles and deepening our understanding of their physical properties. The research is implemented into K-12 education and outreach activities, as well as integrated into graduate and undergraduate courses at NC State University. This project is conducted in collaboration with Lehigh University.

Transfer from Lehigh University.
This project researches methods to create advanced nanometer-scale semiconductor materials called quantum dots. This effort employs a new synthesis technique to create ensembles of these quantum dots with uniform sizes and understand how the synthesis impacts their physical properties.
The research is incorporated into K-12 education and outreach activities and integrated into graduate and undergraduate courses to broaden the educational experience beyond the laboratory.
